Disk Operations

Cannot read/write to a floppy disk
Unable to write to a disk
These phenomena are consequences of performance losses that result from
CPU power-saving functions. Execute the following operations after logging on
with administrator authority.
1
Input [c:\util\cpupower\setup.exe] in [start] - [Run], and select [OK].
Follow the on-screen instructions.
2
Select [Performance] in [start] - [All Programs] - [Panasonic] - [CPU
Idle Setting] and select [OK], then select [Yes].
The computer will be restarted automatically.
• These operations will be helpful in alleviating the performance losses
resulting from CPU power saving functions, but will not be effective against
the performance losses resulting from other causes. (e.g., noise generated
during periods of exceptionally high load on the CPU, such as during video
playback).
• When these operations are performed, the battery running time will be
reduced to some extent. We thus recommend that when not using LAN or
peripheral devices, select [Battery (Windows XP Standard)] in [CPU Idle
Setting], and return [Power Schemes] in [Power Options] to [Portable/Laptop].
Check the computer-printer connection.
Make sure the printer is on.
Make sure the printer is in the online state.
Make sure paper is in the printer tray and there is no paper jam.
Has the Setup Utility been used to set [Parallel Port] to [Enable] or [Auto].
Depending on the printer, EPP or ECP may not work at times.
