Check that you’re using a proper cable or cable adapter.
If an infrared printer doesn’t print
If you’re printing to an infrared printer, make sure its port is set to LPT3 (not
LPT1). Check the printer’s settings. You can also try using COM4 instead.
Start Infrared Monitor before you print.
In Windows Help, use the Print Troubleshooter.
For infrared printing from an MS-DOS program, run the program in an MS-DOS
window instead of in MS-DOS mode.
Make sure the infrared light path is not blocked.
Make sure Windows is running—infrared printing is supported only while
Windows is running.
Make sure the infrared printer is IrDA compatible.
Make sure you have not disabled IrDA support on your OmniBook.
If you have a PC card that uses interrupt 3, try removing it before printing.
If a printer stops when you turn off the OmniBook
If the ac adapter is connected, don’t turn off the OmniBook until the job is
finished printing. When you turn off the OmniBook while the ac adapter is
connected, it sends a reset signal to the printer. (If you’re not using the ac
adapter, no reset signal is sent.)
If the left edge of printed output is missing
If the printer you’re using is a 600-dpi (dots per inch) printer, try selecting a
compatible printer driver for a 300-dpi printer. For example, for a 600-dpi
HP LaserJet printer, try using the HP LaserJet IIIsi driver (300-dpi). Certain
applications may not work properly with 600-dpi printers.
Memory Problems
If a message says you’re out of memory
To find out how much memory is in your OmniBook, run the System Configuration
Utility.
In Windows Help, use the memory troubleshooter.
If you’re having memory problems running MS-DOS programs, in Windows Help
use the MS-DOS troubleshooter.
Pointing Device and Mouse Problems
If the pointer is difficult to control
Adjust the pointer settings using the Mouse icon in Control Panel.
If the pointing device doesn’t work
Make sure you don’t have an external mouse connected to the OmniBook.
