Supplemental Information
This sheet contains supplemental information about
troubleshooting the parallel port and USB installation problems.
It is divided into the following sections:
❏Troubleshooting the parallel port(Windows 98/95)
❏USB (Windows 98) installation problems
Troubleshooting the Parallel Port (Windows 98/95)
Printing or scanning speed is slow
Make sure the ECP mode is turned on in your computer’s BIOS.
For details, see your computer’s documentation.
If the ECP mode is enabled in BIOS and printing and scanning are
still slow, the ECP hardware (a component inside your computer
which processes the ECP protocol) is malfunctioning. When the
Stylus Scan’s ECP port driver senses a problem in the ECP
hardware, the driver switches to software processing of the ECP
protocol to protect your data. Software processing is secure, but
much slower than hardware processing.
A communication error occurs during printing or
scanning
Make sure the ECP mode is turned on in your computer’s BIOS.
For details, see your computer’s documentation.
If the errors continue to occur, follow the steps below:
1. Click Start, then Run.
