Verifying/Changing Printer Operation and Status
If an attached printer is constantly communicating with the parallel port
(usually indicated by a printer icon in the taskbar), then the parallel port
will not be available to the Docking Station for uploading voice files. To
remedy this condition, you will need to disable the printer.
To make the printer’s parallel port available to the Docking Station:
1 Disable or, if necessary, disconnect the printer from the parallel port.
2 If the parallel port is still not available, check the parallel port’s
mode setting as described under “Verifying/Changing Parallel Port
Mode Setting,” below.
3 If the parallel port is still not available, you may need to install a
second, dedicated parallel port on the PC for use by the Connex
software.
Verifying/Changing Parallel Port Mode Setting
If a printer is attached to the computer’s parallel port and the parallel
port’s mode setting is Bidirectional, then the Docking Station may not
be able to upload voice files. To remedy this condition, change the
parallel port mode to another setting such as Compatible or EPP. The
exact procedure and settings for a computer’s parallel port mode may
vary from one BIOS to another. In the procedure that follows, you may
have to adapt certain details to the operation of your computer.
To check and, if necessary, change the parallel port mode setting:
1 Restart the computer.
2 During startup, press
F1
or
F2
(or
DEL
key on some computers)
when prompted, to enter Setup.
3 Select
Advanced
, then select
Peripheral Configuration
, then
select
Parallel Port Mode
.
4 Verify the
Parallel Port Mode
setting. If it is set to Bidirectional,
change it to a different setting.
5 Press
F10
to save and exit.
