This cable connects your Miditerminal 4140 to your computer's printer port and it also connects
the Y-cable keyboard adapter at one end. This also is a custom-made cable FOR USE ONLY
WITH THE MIDITERMINAL 4140. Do not connect printers or any other devices with
this cable at any time. Doing so may severely damage the printer or computer.
2. Check Your IRQ Settings
Check your soundcard and other installed hardware devices' IRQ settings and make sure that
they don't have the same IRQ settings as your printer port IRQ (the number that you’ve just
checked above). If you do find a device that has the same IRQ as your printer port IRQ, change
the IRQ of the device to a different IRQ. Consult the manuals of other hardware devices. If you
have problems read "Printer Port Tech Stuff" before preceding any further. If you are using an
ECP Printer Port, be sure to cross check the Direct Memory Access with other hardware devices as
well. It should have a number different from any other devices.
* Please choose ECP or EPP mode for the parallel (printer) port via the BIOS CMOS
setup of your computer’s motherboard.
* Now the IRQ of the Miditerminal 4140 is set automatically during the driver installation.
