CHAPTER THIRTEEN
Fax Machine Connect Failure or Bi-Directional
Communication Error
Recently, some printers have included a function to show the printer status on
the PC display. Such printers use the bi-directional communication parallel
port between the printer and the PC. Our Brother printer driver also has a
bi-directional parallel port function. Since Windows
®
3.1x does not support
bi-directional communication on the parallel port, each peripheral vendor has
developed and supplied a bi-directional device driver, which will be installed
into Windows
®
3.1x. If you install two or more different bi-directional device
drivers into Windows
®
, they might conflict with each other and cause problems.
Please make sure you have installed the Brother printer driver, by executing
SETUP.EXE from your CD-ROM drive, following the instructions on the
diskette label. The bi-directional communication may be disabled when the
driver is installed from the Add menu in “Printers” of the Control Panel. Please
restart Windows
®
.
Remove the conflicting situation caused by one of the following printer
drivers. Review the following sections that apply to any additional printer
drivers you may have installed in your Windows
®
software.

The Resource Manager for the Brother printer drivers may not work if the
printer drivers for the above models are installed after the installation of the
Brother printer drivers.
In this case, please install the Brother printer driver again or copy the
BI-DI.386 from the CD-ROM to the Windows/System directory.
(NOTE: BI-DI.386 on the CD-ROM is not compressed.)
