encoded properly or encoded onto a bad magnetic stripe,
the printer is unable to verify the encoded data. When this
happens, the printer will simply eject the card before
printing begins and the on-line LED will begin flashing.
Press the on-line button to resume encoding and printing
with a new card.
The on/cancel LED light is flashing.
¥ If the on/cancel LED is flashing, this indicates a possible
error with your printerÕs memory. Contact your authorized
reseller for technical assistance.
I’m having problems printing from Windows 95/98.
¥ Print with either the 32-Bit Print Spooler or the Write
Direct to Port option selected from within the printer
driver setup (see Chapter 4, Section IV for more
information on these options). In most cases, one or the
other of these options will provide the best results when
printing from Windows 95/98.
¥ Due to the wide variety of PC hardware and software
configurations, however, some systems may print more
effectively through the Windows 95/98 print spooler. If
you choose not to print with either the 32-Bit Print Spooler
or the Write Direct to Port option selected, but instead wish
to print through the Windows print spooler, the following
steps will help you optimize your system for printing:
1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and select
Printers. When the Printers window appears, click on
the Quatro printer icon using the right mouse button,
and select the Properties option.
2. Select the Details tab, then select the Spool Settings
button.
3. Select the Print directly to the printer option and click
on OK.
4. Again from the Details tab, select the Port Settings
button.
5. Deselect both the Check Port state before printing
option and the Spool MS-DOS print jobs option, and
click on OK.
6. Increase the Transmission retry value of the Details tab
from 45 to 900. Click on OK to close the Properties
window.
