Hmm, having only two sensors, I tried all the combinations about 5
times and it still powers up in "error Mode". It thinks there is a
paper jam according to the manual. I also tried connecting my
computer to it - can't find a driver to work with XP either!
They have it for win3.1, 95, 98, me, NT, and 2000 but not XP - GRRRR!
I used the Windows driver for it but I don't think that will work
out in the long run.
Either way, that didn't correct the error problem either.
