Winbook X Series X2 - Manual (Page 159)

PROBLEM: My printer prints strange characters that are not in
the document that I am trying to print.
ACTIONS:
• This is often the result of garbage in the printer’s memory buffer. Cancel
the printing job (see Windows documentation or the documentation that
came with your software application), then turn off the printer’s power
switch. Turn the printer back on and try to print the document again.
• You may not have the printer drivers set up properly. See the problem
above for information on printer drivers.
• Some printers require that the printer be turned on after the system
boots. If the printer is on when the computer boots, you might get a
line of garbage printed as the printer port activates. See your printer
documentation for more information.
PROBLEM: Special devices that I connect to the Parallel Port do
not function properly.
ACTIONS:
• You may need to enable special options in the Setup Program for this
device. Some devices require two-way communication through the printer
port to operate properly. You can choose two-way communication for the
port in the System Devices Menu of the Setup program. Choose “Bi-
Directional”, “EPP” or “ECP”. ECP is the preferred choice, but you will
need to determine if your device will support it.
