Installation Guide
Printer Status Monitor Software
NOTE: This is only a problem if your printer is connected to the back of
the CD-Writer drive.
If your printer came with a program that notifies you about the
status of the printer (such as when it is out of paper), this
printer
status monitor
software might cause problems. The
printer status
monitor
software checks the status of your printer every few
seconds. If this happens while you are writing data to your
recordable CD, it will cause data corruption. Turn off the
printer
status monitor
software to prevent this problem. Check the
information that came with your printer to find out how to do
this.
