Installing the Software
If your printer came with a program that notifies you about the status of
the printer (such as when it is out of paper), this printer status monitor
software might cause problems. The printer status monitor software checks
the status of your printer every few seconds. If this happens while you are
writing data to your tape, it will cause data corruption. Turn off the
printer status monitor software to prevent this problem. Check the
information that came with your printer to find out how to do this.
Known Compatibility Problems
Check the Readme file on the software installation CD for additional
information.

Acer computers, some models P75 to P120
DO NOT connect the tape drive to the printer (parallel) port. On
these models, connecting an external storage device, such as the HP
Colorado 5GB drive, to the parallel port will damage the port.
Contact your computer manufacturer for more information.
Okidata printer model 4w
Printer no longer works or problems printing a file after
connecting it to the tape drive
Your parallel port may be using the same IRQ setting as some other
device in your computer system. For example, a sound board or fax/
modem board may be using the same IRQ. If you discover conflicts,
change the IRQ setting on the other device. Refer to the manuals that
came with your computer and other devices for instructions.
If your printer is attached to the tape drive, printing documents while
using the tape drive will yield unpredictable results and is not a
supported function. This is because the printer and tape drive are
sharing the same data cable.
