SUGGESTIONS
If the image data is not full colour in your application (Such as 256
®
colour), True2Life will not work. Please use at least 24 bit colour data
with the True2Life feature.
1. Make sure the machine is on (plugged into the AC outlet and switched
on) and that it is connected directly to the computer using the
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) and should not be longer than 2 m.
2. Make sure the machine is not showing an error message on the LCD.
3. Make sure that there are no other device drivers, using the parallel
port, or software applications running automatically that start up when
you turn on the computer (such as, drivers for Zip Drivers, External
CD-ROM Drive, and so on.).
Suggested areas to check: (Load=, Run=command lines in the win.ini
file or the Startup Group).
4. Ask with your computer manufacturer to confirm that the computer's
parallel port settings in the BIOS are set to support a bi-directional
machine, such as Parallel Port Mode-ECP.
If the machine is not connected to your PC and you have loaded the
Brother software, the PC will show 'machine Connect Failure' each time
®
you restart Windows . You can ignore this message or you can turn it
off by deselecting the AutoLoad PopUp check box in the Brother
Control Center chapter. (See How to turn off AutoLoad on page 14-3.)
a) Have you installed the Windows 2000
If not, do the following:.
1. Disconnect the USB cable.
2. Install the Windows 2000
Guide.After the installation the PC will be automatically restarted.
3. Wait about 1 minute after you reboot the PC, and then connect the
USB cable.
b) Take out the media card and put it back in again.
c) If you have tried "Eject", you must take out the media card before you
continue.
d) If an error message appears when you try to eject the media card, it
means the card is being accessed.Wait a while and then try again.
e) If all of the above do not wark, please turn off your PC and MFC, and
then turn them on again. (You will have to unplug the power cord of
the MFC to turn it off.)
