The keyboard does not respond.

left of the computer. If it works, contact your dealer or an authorized
service center as the internal keyboard cable may be loose.

Check the following:
Make sure that the infrared ports of the two devices are facing
each other (+/- 15 degrees) a maximum of 1 meter apart.

the infrared port is enabled.

it is turned on.
Make sure that the printer cable is connected securely to the
computer’s parallel port and the corresponding port on the

During POST, press F2 to access the BIOS Utility and verify that the
parallel port is enabled.
