Printing Problems
Text is printed with an extra blank line even after you set AUTOFEED
to off.
Your interface cable
may
be sending the extra line feed
command. Disable
the
AUTOFEED signal of your interface. See
the interface specifications in Chapter 8.
Some
or
all of the output is garbled
or
printed as asterisks.
The interface cable may not be plugged in completely. Make sure
that both ends of the cable are plugged in securely.
The interface may not be configured correctly. If you are using a
serial interface, make sure that both the computer and printer are
set to use the same number of data bits per word and
that
they
both use the same parity, baud rate, and number of stop bits.
You can also use the data dump mode to check the data being
sent
from the computer. See the section on data dumps later in
this chapter.
If the printer still does not print correctly, contact your dealer or
a qualified service person.
The position of the printout is not what you expected.
The printed page length differs
from the actual length of the paper.
Check
the
page length setting in your application program and
make sure that it is set correctly for the selected page length.
The right or left margin setting does not match the actual width of the
paper.
The margin settings of your software program may not be
correct. Change the settings of your application program. If this
does
not
correct the problem, you can change the right or left
margin with SelecType. The procedure for changing margin
settings varies depending on
the
selected printer mode. See
Chapter 4.
