Parallel Port Printer Pass-Through Solutions
Iomega has developed Windows 95 compatible drivers for the
parallel port Zip drive, however, some printers will not work
correctly when connected to devices like the Zip drive. Listed here
are some possible solutions if you experience problems with your
printer, but you should contact your printer manufacturer since they
know how to best address parallel port printer issues.
If you are…
…experiencing any of the following problems
• Printer does not work when connected to the
Zip drive
• The system stops responding (hangs)
• Information gets lost during file transfers
…and you are using one of the follo wing printers
MNOTE: The Zip drive must have power in order for the printer
pass-through feature to work. M
