If you connected a scanner to the parallel port, make sure the
port is set for bidirectional operation (ECP mode); see
“Configuring integrated peripherals” in Chapter 2 for more
information. If you use ECP mode, check your parallel device
software documentation for the correct DMA channel (DRQ)
setting; then set jumpers JP8 and JP18 to match the setting, if
necessary. See “Changing the Jumper Settings” in Chapter 4 for
more information.
The printer prints garbled information.
Check the printer manual for the printer’s correct DIP switch or
control panel settings. Also, make sure you have the proper
drivers installed for your printer and make sure you’ve
selected the correct printer within your software application.

See the documentation that came with the option card to set
any necessary DIP switches or jumpers on the card. The
computer may also have some jumpers that must be set for the
option card to work properly. See “Changing the Jumper
Settings” in Chapter 4 for more information.
Make sure you install option cards that do not exceed the
system’s power supply limits; see “Option Slot Power Limits”
