Is the Data In indicator
blinking or lit after
starting the print job,
when using the PCL
printer?
If not, the data is not being sent to the printer, or the
printer may be resetting the print job because there was a
long delay in receiving the data from the computer.
If the printer is using "I/O Timeout"
Increase the value of the "I/O Timeout" setting of the
"System" menu of the "Job Control". See “Making Printer
Settings with the Operation Panel” on page 7-5
If your machine is connected to the computer using the
parallel cable
Confirm that the printer port settings are correct. For a
parallel port connection, port LPT1 or LPT2 should be set.
For more information on the printer port settings, see the
Note after this table.
