Toshiba Satellite 4030CDT - Modem Problems

If Something Goes Wrong
Fixing device-related problems
Make sure the printer cable is firmly attached to the computer and
the printer.
If your printer is ECP- or IEEE 1284-compliant, make sure you
have an IEEE 1284 printer cable.
Run the printer's serf-test to check for any problem with the printer
itself.
Make sure you installed the proper printer drivers, as shown in
"Setting up your printer" on page 28.
You may have connected the printer while the computer is on. Dis
able Resume Mode, turn off the computer, and turn off the printer.
Turn the printer back on, make sure it is on line, then turn the com
puter back on.
Try printing another file. For example, you could create and
attempt to print a short test file using Notepad. If a Notepad file
prints correctly, the problem may be in your original file.
The printer will not print what you see on the screen.
Many programs display information on the screen differently from
the way they print it. See if your program has a print preview
mode. This mode lets you see your work exactly as it will print.
Contact the software manufacturer for more information.
Modem problems
The modem will not receive or transmit properly.
Make sure the RJ-11 cable (the one that goes from the modem to
the telephone line) is firmly connected to the modem's RJ-11 jack
and the telephone line socket.
Check the serial port settings to make sure the hardware and soft
ware are referring to the same COM port (look in Device Manager
under Modems).
Check the communications parameters (baud rate, parity, data
length and stop bits) specified in the communications program. It
should be set up to transmit at 300,1200,2400,4800,9600,
14400,28800,33600 bps (bits per second) or higher. Refer to the
