PROBLEMS RELATED TO SEP 40 TO PC CONNECTION
Due a large variety of parallel port types, a case may occur when the programmer cannot “get
concerted” with the PC. This problem may be shown as none communication between the PC and
the programmer, or by unreliable communication.
- If this behavior occurs, try to connect your programmer to some other PCs or other parallel ports
near you.
- Please remember that the printer port where the programmer is connected must be configured
as IEEE 1284 compatible. You should check in the BIOS configuration of Your computer that
the port is set as ECP/EPP. Or, if You use a multi I/O card, assure that it can be configured and
used as IEEE 1284 compatible.
- Try to set the parallel port as Centronics compatible (or standard, or normal, or SPP, according
to the BIOS manufacturer, all these denominations refer to the same setting for the parallel
port). This could decrease performance but assure the highet communication reliability.
If You can't find any solution, please contact grifo ® directly. Provide us an accurate description of
Your PC configuration, including some other circumstances bearing on the problem in question.
Don’t forget please to tell PC type, manufacturer, speed, operating system type and version, resident
programs; your parallel port I/O manufacturer and type.
