Troubleshooting the Printer
I cannot print.
The default setting for the printer port mode is correct for most printers. If you 
cannot print, try changing the printer port mode. In Sony Notebook Setup, select 
the Printer tab. If the printer port mode is set to ECP, change it to bi-directional. If 
the printer port mode is set to bi-directional, change it to ECP. See “Displaying 
the Sony Notebook Setup Screen” in your online User Guide for details on using 
Sony Notebook Setup.
Your connected printer may not function after the notebook resumes from a 
power saving mode. If this occurs, follow these steps to reset the printer 
connection:
1
(Windows XP) Click Start and select Control Panel. (Windows 2000) Click 
Start, select Settings, and select Control Panel. 
2
Click the Printers folder.
3
Right-click on the icon of the printer that is not functioning, and select 
Properties to access the Properties window.
4
Click OK to close the Properties window. The printer should now function 
properly.
Ensure that the printer is compatible with the Windows® operating system 
installed on your computer, and that it has the correct printer drivers.
