Parallel Port (Printer Interface) Check
Use this option to test the operation of the computer’s primary parallel port.
To perform the test, you must insert a special loop-back connector into the
parallel port so that the computer can check the individual pins of the port.
Contact your dealer if you need a loop-back connector.
Note
If you connect a parallel printer cable instead of a loop-back connector, you
will get errors. Also, you need a different loop-back connector to test the
serial port.
When you select option 9 from the DEVICE LIST menu, you see this
message:
Attach loop-back connector to parallel port.
Enter Y to start this check when connector is
attached, or
Enter N to return to the menu.
