SCSI

If trouble occurs when printing, scanning or duplicating using SCSI, confirm that the ASPI Manager is installed. If the ASPI Manager is not installed, you must install it. It is assumed that the Adaptec SCSI host adapter is installed.

■ Windows 3.1 users

1 Confirm that the SCSI host adapter is installed in your PC correctly.
2 In CONFIG.SYS file, check the following setting.
If this setting does not exist in CONFIG.SYS, reinstall SCSI driver using EZ-SCSI (refer to the SCSI host adapter users manual).
3 Confirm that the EZ-SCSI is installed in Windows 3.1. If Adaptec EZ-SCSI program group does not exist, install SCSI driver using EZ-SCSI (refer to SCSI host adapter users manual).
4 After finishing necessary procedure, restart PC and make sure that the following message appears on your PC.
"ASPInDOS.SYS Installation successful"
5 Start Windows and confirm that the printer and/or scanner is recognized by PC using SCSI utility in EZ-SCSI program group or Show Configuration in KX-PS8000 Utilities program group.
If the printer and/or the scanner are not recognized, please refer to KX-PS8000 Operating Instructions manual and recheck SCSI ID or terminator settings.

$$ \text { DEVICE } = \text { ASPInDOS.SYS (n = 2, 4, 8 etc.) } $$

■ Windows 95 users

1 Confirm that the SCSI host adapter is installed in your PC correctly.
2 Click Start and select Settings, then click Control Panel.
3 Double-click the System icon from the Control Panel.
4 Click Device Manager tab.

If the SCSI host adapter does not exist or displayed with the exclamation mark!, SCSI driver is not installed correctly. Reinstall the SCSI driver (refer to SCSI host adapter users manual).

5 If the SCSI driver is installed correctly, confirm that the printer and/or the scanner is recognized by PC using SCSI utility in EZ-SCSI program or Show Configuration in KX-PS8000 Utilities program.

If the printer and/or the scanner are not recognized, refer to the KX-PS8000 Operating Instructions manual and recheck the SCSI ID or terminator settings.

■ Windows NT 4.0 users

1 Confirm that the SCSI host adapter is installed in your PC correctly.
2 Click Start and select Settings, then click Control Panel.
3 Double-click the SCSI Adapters icon from the Control Panel. If the SCSI host adapter does not exist, SCSI driver is not installed correctly. Reinstall the SCSI driver (refer to SCSI host adapter users manual).
4 If the SCSI driver is installed correctly, confirm that the printer is recognized by PC using SCSI utility in EZ-SCSI program.

If the printer is not recognized, refer to the KX-PS8000 Operating Instructions manual and recheck the SCSI ID or terminator settings.

The following tables show how much memory is required for better printing performance. Increasing memory gives better printing quality.

The total amount of memory installed in the printer is reported on the Test Page.
