The printer does not print. • The PC cable is not connected properly.
• The PC cable is defective. Swap the cable
with one known to work. If necessary,
replace the cable.
• If the PC cable is one that was not received
with the machine, ensure that it is compliant
with the IEEE 1284 standard.

certain that the print job is being sent to the
correct port (for example, LPT1).

Jams on page 7-2.

within an application. Check the application
to verify that all print settings are correct.
