Printer doesn’t work
❑
Is the printer power turned off?
❑
Is the printer cable connected to the correct port (serial
or parallel)?
❑
Are your application and the printer configured for the
same operating values? Be sure there is no conflict with
any port on the add-on card. For details, check the
documentation that came with your printer.
❑
Is the printer out of paper or jammed? Check the
printer’s status indicator lights.
❑
Are the printer cables tangled? To prevent signal
interference, neatly fold or coil excess cable length.
Add-on card fails intermittently
❑
Do two add-on cards have conflicting addresses? “PnP/
PCI Configuration” on page 58 shows where you can see
the addresses in the BIOS Setup screen.
If you receive an error message
❑
Read the corrective actions listed in “Error Messages” on
page 19.
