There can be several reasons why this can happen. – Check the PC BIOS settings for the parallel port mode set to Standard or Normal. – In the Hardware Settings window (Settings/Hardware Settings), make sure the parallel port is selected correctly. If you are not sure, try each one (LPT1, LPT2, etc ). – Make sure the parallel port is configured properly in Windows and that no conflicts exist. – Make sure the parallel cable you are using is good and is the correct configuration (straight-through, 25-pin IEEE 1284 standard). – Make sure the ProTrack I is configured as a Model 20. Using the ProTrack I front panel buttons and LCD screen, press the Menu button. Press the Prefs button. Press the Advanced button. The menu item second down on the left side should say M20. If it says M10, press the corresponding button to toggle it to M20. Press the Store button to save this setting. – You may need to install a separate parallel card into your PC if the built-in port is not 100% IBM compatible.
