Bidirectional
communications
problems
Note: This section does not apply to Windows
NT 4.0 users.
Bidirectional communications problems have
two primary causes:
• You are using the wrong parallel cable.
• Your computer system is not configured for
bidirectional communications.
Replacing the parallel cable
You must use an IEEE 1284-compliant parallel
cable that supports bidirectional printing.
Verify your printer cable meets these
specifications. To purchase a Lexmark cable,
see "Ordering supplies" on page 61.
Computer configuration problems
If you have the correct parallel cable, and

bidirectional communications problems

persist, you may have a computer
configuration problem.
Contact your computer manufacturer, or see
the documentation that came with your
computer to determine if your computer
supports bidirectional communications.
