Upgrading the Printer Software
Chapter 4: Maintaining the Printer
4-25
If you have problems:
• Make sure you are using an IEEE B1284 compliant 
cable. 
• Make sure the printer’s parallel port Mode is set to 
Auto
• If running a DOS window from Windows 95 make sure 
that one of your printers through Settings/Printers is 
mapped directly to LPT 1 (not redirected to a network 
queue). Also check the port settings by selecting the 
Port Settings... button on the Details tab dialog. Make 
sure the selection Spool MS-DOS Print Jobs is 
selected. If still having problems after making these 
settings, try powering your PC off and on. 
• (Windows Users) If experiencing time-outs on the host 
PC (“Problem detected on parallel port, Abort, Retry, 
Fail”) then you need to set the port to an infinite 
time-out against busy on the printer. From the 
command line or as an entry in autoexec.bat type the 
following command:
mode lpt1:,,b (two commas following the colon)
The “b” option sets the port for infinite time-out. After 
setting the port to an infinite time-out, try using the 
copy command again. If the command prompt does 
not appear within 20 minutes a ctrl-break can be used 
to abort the copy command without rebooting your 
computer.
• Windows 3.11 users should turn off Print Manager.
