Fcc Radio / Tv Interference Notice - Tripp-Lite B170-004-R Manual De Instrucciones

Selecting the printer through software controls:
When in Windows, use the software provided to select the desired printer port. If in DOS, use the Hot Key commands to
select the printer port. (Hot Keys ONLY function in DOS and will not work in Windows). See the Read.me file on the CD.
Broadcast Mode:
Can only be used when all printers are identical. Sends a print job to all printers simultaneously. All LEDs are illuminated
when the switch is in this mode.
About the Software:
The software allows you to directly select any PORT, or select all PORTS at once in broadcast mode. This software ONLY
needs to be installed when you are using the switch in 1-to-4 mode (1 PC to 4 Printers). For additional information on this
software please view the READ.ME file included on the driver CD.
Troubleshooting:
IMPORTANT: First check that all cables are connected properly. If they are, then connect the printer directly to the computer to
determine if the problem involves the switch. If it does, then proceed with this section.
1. LED locks on the PORT when a cable is connected:
•
An errant signal may trigger a "timeout" count. Wait until the "timeout" counter reaches zero (in 15 or 45 seconds)
•
Set DIP Switch #1 to the ON position (RESET position). Return the DIP switch to the NORMAL setting and retry.
•
If the Printer is a Hewlett Packard or an EPSON Stylus 400, 600, or 800 series, take the following steps to disable the
printer's status checking procedure.
1. In Windows 95 click the Start button, select Settings and then select Printers.
2. Double left-click on the correct printer Icon.
3. Activate the Printer pull-down menu and select Properties.
4. Select the tab titled Details (located above the Printer Properties window).
5. Select the Spool Settings button. The "enable bi-directional support for this printer" selection must NOT be
checked and the "disable bi-directional support for this printer" selection must be checked. Then press OK.
6. Select the Port Settings button. The box labeled "Check Port Status before printing" must NOT be checked.
Then click OK.
2. The Printer status window shows "Printer not Responding" or "Cable not Connected" intermittently.
•
Make sure that only one printer status monitor (bi-directional) is installed in your system. If more than one is installed
the printer drivers for those printers will "fight" for control of the LPT port causing error messages to appear in one
or the other of the status monitors. Follow the same 6 step procedure shown above.
•
If the above does not resolve the problem, add the correct power adapter to your Auto Switch.
3. Error messages show up during or immediately after you install new printer drivers.
•
Uninstall other bi-directional printer status windows before installing a new one. Then follow the 6 step procedure found above.
•
Before installing the driver, use the manual selection button to "Lock" on to the specific printer or remove the Auto Switch and
connect the printer directly to the PC.
•
After installing the new print drivers, reconnect the printer to the switch (if it had been disconnected) and restart Windows so
that the Auto Switch can properly emulate the new bi-directional printers responses.
4. Status window can not display printer status properly.
•
Change your computer's LPT port type to either standard or EPP and installing the drivers again.
