Printing Problems
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 (serial or parallel). If
you are using a serial interface, also set the protocol, baud rate,
data bits, 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 then reset the values correctly. Make sure the
SelecType printer mode matches your program’s printer driver.
