If the left edge of printed output is missing • If the printer you’re using is a 600-dpi (dots per inch) printer, try selecting a compatible printer driver for a 300-dpi printer. For example, for a 600-dpi HP LaserJet printer, try using the HP LaserJet IIIsi driver (300-dpi). Certain applications may not work properly with 600-dpi printers. Memory Problems To find out how much memory is in your OmniBook, double-click the OmniBook Tools icon in Program Manager (Main group), then in the window’s Control menu, choose About.

If a message says you’re out of memory • Exit Windows, then type win to restart Windows. If this doesn’t fix the problem, exit Windows and press CTRL+ALT+DEL to reboot. • If you aren’t using some types of PCMCIA cards, see “To use less memory for plug- in cards” for a possible suggestion. • See the Windows Quick Start and MS-DOS Quick Start manuals for information about controlling memory usage. Remember that memory-resident (TSR) programs decrease available memory. Trackball and Mouse Problems If the trackball pointer is difficult to control • Adjust the mouse tracking speed—in OmniBook Tools, click Input Devices, then click Pointing Devices.
If a mouse connected to the serial port doesn’t work properly • Check Windows Setup (in the Main program group). If Genius serial mouse on COM1 isn’t selected, choose Change System Settings from the Options menu. Select Genius serial mouse on COM1 from the Mouse pull-down list box, and choose OK. • Check the OmniBook serial port assignments—in OmniBook Tools click Connections and COM Ports. For a serial mouse, the serial port must be assigned to COM1. • Check whether the serial mouse is compatible with the OmniBook—the mouse must be compatible with the 9-pin serial Microsoft Mouse. If the OmniBook trackball doesn’t work • Make sure you don’t have an external mouse connected to the OmniBook.
• If you just disconnected an external mouse, you have to exit and restart Windows to make the OmniBook trackball active again. 80
