Starting Actsip-HWrite:H If you want to start with an old program just write the project name after the H likethis:H DEMO will start Actsip-H with the "DEMO" project andH MYPROJ will start Actsip-H and load the project named "MYPROJ".A project named DEMO is supplied on the Actsip-H distribution disk.If you see the text "Missing BOX !" the reason may be either that the "BOX" is notinstalled correctly (see page 10) or that there is some incompatibility in your computer.Check that everything is correctly connected and if that fails to work please contactyour dealer or Actron AB directly.If you have more than one parallel port and see the message "Missing BOX" test theother port.On a few portable computers the "BOX" only works if a printer is connected to the"BOX". The printer must be in On-line mode. This behaviour is due to the fact that anon IBM compatible printer port is installed in your computer.For support telephone number see page 110.Copyright Actron AB, 1992
