Homebrew PCBs

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.
