Suggestions
1. Make sure the MFC is on (plugged into the
AC outlet) and that it is connected directly
to the computer using the bundled
IEEE-1284 bi-directional parallel cable.
The cable must not go through another
peripheral device (such as a Zip Drive,
External CD-ROM Drive, or Switch box).
2. Make sure the MFC is not displaying an
error message on the LCD Display.
3. Make sure no other device drivers, which
also communicate through the parallel port,
are running automatically when you boot up
the computer (such as, drivers for Zip
Drives, External CD-ROM Drive, etc.)
Suggested areas to check: (Load=, Run=
command lines in the win.ini file or the
Statup Group)
4. Check with you computer manufacturer to
confirm that the computer's parallel port
settings in the BIOS are set to support a
bi-directional machine; i.e. (Parallel Port
Mode – ECP)
Check the video cable connection to the MFC's
RCA pin jack. Check that the video equipment
is sending a signal (video equipment is turned
on and set to the correct setting).
