Difficulties Setting Up The Optional
Software
Problem Using the HP Pavilion PC and the “HP DEMO”
Screen Saver
If you select the “HP Demo” screen saver on your HP Pavilion PC after you
have installed the optional Multi-Function Link Pro software, the
System.ini file is overwritten and you cannot use the Brother fax machine to
print, scan, or for Remote Setup.
If you have used the HP Demo screen saver already, you must edit the
System.ini file as follows:
[boot]
;comm.drv=comm115.drv
comm.drv=brmfcomm.drv
[386Enh]
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\Bi-Di.386
If you do not want to edit the System.ini file, please change the screen saver
to another one and Re-install Multi-Function Link Pro again.
Bi-Directional Parallel Ports (nibble and byte modes)
The fax machine supports both nibble (AT) and byte (Bi-directional) mode
parallel ports. If your PC supports byte mode, scanning and fax reception will be
at a faster speed. To verify or change the parallel port mode, please check your
system BIOS in the CMOS Setup or contact your computer manufacturer for
assistance.
Some older PC models support only nibble mode. Generally, newer models
support both nibble and byte modes.
