Problem
Solution
The printer does not
print or stops
printing.
The ON LINE light is
on but nothing is
printed.
The interface cable may not be plugged in
securely. Check both ends of the cable
between the printer and the computer. If
you are using a parallel interface, secure
the connector using the wire retaining
clips.
You may not be using the correct interface
cable. Make sure that your interface cable
meets the specifications for the printer and
computer.
You may not have selected the correct
interface settings with SelecType. Select
the appropriate interface. If you are using
a serial interface, also set the baud rate,
protocol, data bit, and related settings. See
your computer manual for the correct
settings and interface requirements.
The software may not be installed properly
for your printer. Use the program’s setup
(or install) procedure to check the printer
settings on your computer’s display; then
reset the values correctly. Make sure the
SelecType operating mode matches your
program’s printer driver. See Chapter 5.
