Caution:
Never replace the print head yourself; you may damage the printer. Also,
other parts of the printer must be checked when the print head is replaced.
All the text is printed on the same line.
Cause What to do
No line feed command is sent
at the end of each line of text.
Turn on the auto line feed setting using
the printer’s default-setting mode so
that the printer automatically adds a line
feed code to each carriage return. See
“Changing the settings in the SelecType
mode” on page 98 for details.
The printout has extra blank lines between lines of text.
Cause What to do
Two line feed commands are
being sent at the end of each
line of text, because the
printer’s auto line feed setting
is on.
Turn off the auto line feed setting using
the printer’s SelecType mode. See
“Changing the settings in the SelecType
mode” on page 98 for details.
The line space setting in your
application software is
incorrect.
Adjust the line space setting in your
application software.
The printer prints strange symbols, incorrect fonts, or other
inappropriate characters.
Cause What to do
Your printer and computer are
not communicating correctly.
Make sure that you use the correct
interface cable and that the
communications protocol is correct. See
“Electronic” on page 168 and your
computer documentation.
