Printing Problems Problem Solution The printer does not print or stops printing. The ON LINE message appears 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 baud rate, protocol, data bit, and related settings. See Chapter 3 for information on using SelecType. Also check your computer manual for interface requirements. You may not have set the DIP switches correctly. DIP switches must be set for either the RS-232C or the RS-422A serial interface. (Not required for a parallel interface.) See Chapter 2 for details. 7-14 Troubleshooting

printing.
The ON LINE
message appears but
nothing is printed.
The interface cable may not be plugged in

You may not be using the correct interface
cable. Make sure that your interface cable
meets the specifications for the printer

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 baud rate, protocol,
data bit, and related settings. See
Chapter 3 for information on using
SelecType. Also check your computer
manual for interface requirements.
You may not have set the DIP switches
correctly. DIP switches must be set for
either the RS-232C or the RS-422A serial
interface. (Not required for a parallel
interface.) See Chapter 2 for details.
