the driver disabled, and after rebooting Windows, the Parallel Printer
Port is now available for use with another device. The PORTMAN dri-
ver will not be activated again until the Enable Interface checkbox is
re-checked and the system rebooted.
SYMPTOM: When booting up Windows, I get the messages
“Output Hardware not Detected/Input Hardware not Detected”.
SOLUTION 1: This message pops up when you go into Windows
with the PORTMAN PC/P disconnected. You may disable this mes-
sage by checking “Disable Warning Messages” in the PORTMAN MIDI
Driver Setup.
SOLUTION 2: You might not have the PORTMAN PC/P MIDI
Driver Port Address and IRQ settings set properly. Please see the sec-
tions on “Windows Driver Installation” and “About Your Printer Port”.
SOLUTION 3: You may need to change the Parallel Port Mode that
your computer is set to. Consult the “About Your Printer Port” and
“Parallel Port Mode” sections of this manual for help, or ask your com-
puter manufacturer or computer professional.
SYMPTOM: When I ran the Calibration Routine, it failed.
SOLUTION: Try changing the Parallel Port Mode that your computer
is set to. Consult the “About Your Printer Port’ and “Parallel Port
Mode” sections of this manual for help, or ask your computer manu-
facturer or computer professional. If this still occurs after changing
modes, try running the diagnostics.
SYMPTOM: When booting the system, I get an error message that
says, “Can’t Initialize the PORTMAN PC/P…”
SOLUTION 1: Try increasing the Extra Pulse Width by increments of
5.
SOLUTION 2: Check that your driver settings match the Address
and IRQ of your Parallel Port.
SYMPTOM: My Windows MIDI program crashes whenever I try to
use it.
