User Manual

• If you’re printing to an infrared printer, make sure its port is set to LPT3 (not

COM2 or LPT1). Check the printer’s property sheet.

• Start Infrared Monitor before you print. Click Start, Infrared.

• For infrared printing from an MS-DOS program, run the program in an MS-DOS

window instead of in MS-DOS mode.

• In Windows Help, use the Print Troubleshooter.

• Make sure the infrared light path is not blocked. See “To make an infrared

connection.”

• Make sure Windows is running—infrared printing is supported only while

Windows is running.

• Make sure the infrared printer is IrDA compatible.

• Make sure you have not disabled IrDA support on your OmniBook.

If the parallel printer doesn’t print

• Check that you’re using a standard parallel printer cable.

• If you can print from another application, check the current application. The

application itself may be at fault.

If the printer stops when you turn off the OmniBook

• If the ac adapter is connected, don’t turn off the OmniBook until the job is

finished printing. When you turn off the OmniBook while the ac adapter is

connected, it sends a reset signal to the printer. (If you’re not using the ac

adapter, no reset signal is sent.)

If the left edge of printed output is missing

• If the printer you’re using is a 600-dpi (dots per inch) printer, try selecting a

compatible printer driver for a 300-dpi printer. For example, for a 600-dpi

HP LaserJet printer, try using the HP LaserJet IIIsi driver (300-dpi). Certain

applications may not work properly with 600-dpi printers.

Memory Problems

If a message says you’re out of memory

To find out how much memory is in your OmniBook, see “To find the system

software and memory size.”

• It’s recommended that your OmniBook have at least 8 MB of memory for

running Windows 95. Performance should increase noticeably with even more

memory.

• In Windows Help, use the memory troubleshooter.

• If you’re having memory problems running MS-DOS programs, in Windows Help

use the MS-DOS troubleshooter.
