When the power saving function is running, communications software may malfunction.
For example, communications may be halted if the standby (hibernation) mode is acti-
vated. The computer must be restarted if one of these modes is entered during data
communications.
Be sure that the power of the display is off (for energy conservation purposes) or the
computer enters standby (hibernation) mode after the communications software is closed.
Windows 2000
When network or communication software is to be used, set [Turn off monitor], [Turn off
hard disks], [System standby] and [System hibernates] (in [Start] - [Settings] - [Control
Panel] - [Power Options]) to [Never].
Windows XP
When network or communication software is to be used, set [Turn off monitor], [Turn off
hard disks], [System standby] and [System hibernates] (in [start] - [Control Panel] -
