InkSaver 1.0 Troubleshooting and Tips:
--------------------------------------
1. Some HP 600 series printers may produce an error message indicating an HPFTBX16, HPFTBX17, orHPFTBX18 error after restarting the computer. This error only occurs when users are using Windows 98 or Me AND the HP printer driver. We are aware of this problem and are working on a fix - please check www.strydent.com/support for updates.
This error can be bypassed with no impact on printer performance by closing the error message and proceeding with your print job. The error can be permanently eliminated by replacing the HP driver with the Windows driver for your printer.
2.If your printer is set to print in Landscape mode by default, printing the Sample Page may result in a Sample Page with no ink reduction. We are aware of this problem and are working on a fix - please check www.strydent.com/support for updates.
You may try printing the page again, or you may need to change your printer's default setting to Portrait mode. You can adjust your printer's default settings through the Start menu by selecting Settings > Printers and choosing your printer from the list.
3. InkSaver Port: The InkSaver port is a special port used in place of the LPT (parallel) port for ink reduction. You may be using the InkSaver port if you have the following:
* HP 600 or 800 series printer using the HP driver
* Windows 98 or Me
* LPT (parallel cable) connection from your printer to your PC
If you have this system configuration and you change the port your printer is connected to (for example, if you switch from the parallel to the USB port) after installing InkSaver, you must reinstall InkSaver to ensure that it is using the correct port. If you do not reinstall InkSaver, your printer's output may be unreadable. We are aware of this problem and are working on a fix - please check www.strydent.com/support for updates.
4. HP printers utilizing the InkSaver port may appear to be networked printers. All printer functionality will work as expected, with the exception that the printer may not be found if you test your printer connection. We are aware of this problem and are working on a fix - please check www.strydent.com/support for updates.
5. Some users may experience an incomplete uninstall or a system crash if they attempt to uninstall InkSaver while a print job is in progress. This occurs because InkSaver is running during the print job. Please wait until printing has completed before running the uninstall program.
6. When using the Canon S600 or the Canon BJC 2000 with InkSaver, the Canon print monitor may not function properly. It will display, "collecting printer status" or "connecting to printer" and all options will be disabled. The printer will continue to function normally, and printing will not be impacted. We are aware of this problem and are working on a fix - please check www.strydent.com/support for updates.
7. If you print multiple copies of a Microsoft Excel document and you are using the InkSaver "Ask Before Printing" dialog, you will be prompted by InkSaver for each copy of the document. This is because Excel sends the document as multiple individual print jobs rather than multiple copies.
