Some software, like OS/2

®

, UNIX,® or NetWare,® needs a

minimum of 8MB to 16MB of RAM to work correctly. Check

your software documentation for the minimum memory

requirements. If necessary, add memory modules using the

instructions in Chapter 3.

Printer or Scanner Problems

The printer or scanner does not work at all.

Check that the printer or scanner has power and is properly

connected to the computer. Also, make sure your printer has

paper in it. If you are using more than one serial port and one is
for your printer, check the primary and secondary port settings

(COM1 and COM2) in your application program.

Make sure the computer’s jumpers are set correctly. Also, make

sure your operating system is assigning ports correctly.

If you connected a scanner or a parallel port network adapter to

the parallel port, make sure you set the port for bidirectional

operation

(PS2

mode) in the SETUP program, as described on

page 1-17.

The printer prints garbled information.

Check the printer manual for the printer’s correct DIP switch or

control panel settings.

Also, make sure you have the proper drivers installed for your
printer and you’ve selected the correct printer within your

software application.
