• Make sure you have not disabled IrDA support on your OmniBook.
If the parallel printer doesn’t print
• Check that you’re using a standard parallel printer cable.
• If you can print from another application, check the current application. The
application itself may be at fault.
If the printer stops when you turn off the OmniBook
• If the ac adapter is connected, don’t turn off the OmniBook until the job is
finished printing. When you turn off the OmniBook while the ac adapter is
connected, it sends a reset signal to the printer. (If you’re not using the ac
adapter, no reset signal is sent.)
If the left edge of printed output is missing
• If the printer you’re using is a 600-dpi (dots per inch) printer, try selecting a
compatible printer driver for a 300-dpi printer. For example, for a 600-dpi
HP LaserJet printer, try using the HP LaserJet IIIsi driver (300-dpi). Certain
applications may not work properly with 600-dpi printers.
Memory Problems
If a message says you’re out of memory
To find out how much memory is in your OmniBook, see “To find the system

exit Windows and
reboot the OmniBook.
