Dealing with Problems
(Advanced)
When you install the driver for a PC Card or peripheral device, be sure to use a driver
that is compatible with the operating system. If you use an incompatible driver, mal-
function may occur. For information on drivers, contact the manufacturer of the pe-
ripheral device you purchased.
When operation resumes from the standby or hibernation mode, serial devices such
as a mouse, modem or PC Cards may not function properly. In such cases, you will
need to restart your computer or reinitialize the individual devices.
Check the computer-printer connection.
Make sure the printer is on.
Make sure the printer is in the online state.
Make sure paper is in the printer tray and there is no paper jam.
Has the Setup Utility been used to set [Parallel Port] to [Enable]?
Depending on the printer, EPP or ECP may not work at times.
Check your mouse connection, then restart the computer by using the keyboard
(Press
,
U
, and select [Restart] with , then press
Enter

A driver which is compatible with the connected mouse must be installed, how-
ever, if the device does not operate when the driver is installed, set [Touch Pad] to
[Disable] in the Setup Utility.
Check the connection.
Confirm that the device driver for the serial port works. Refer to the reference
manual of the device.
Confirm that two mouse devices are not connected, one through the external key-
board/mouse port and the other through the serial port.
Try setting [Touch Pad] to [Disable] in the Setup Utility.
Confirm that [Serial Port] has not been set to [Disable].
Try setting [Touch Pad] to [Disable] in the Setup Utility.
In some circumstances, if a PS/2 external mouse with a serial interface conversion
function is connected to the port, it may not operate normally. Try connecting it to
the serial port.
Make sure the card is properly inserted.
Confirm that the card conforms to the PC Card Standard.
Note that after a driver (PC card driver or other) is installed, the computer must be
restarted.
Check that the proper port settings have been made.
Read the PC Card’s manual. Or, you may need to call the manufacturer of the PC Card.
Try removing/reinserting the PC Card by following the proper procedure.
