The display panel stays blank after you turn on the printer. Turn off the printer and check the power cable connections between the printer and the electrical outlet; then turn the printer back on. If the electrical outlet is controlled by an outside source such as a wall switch, plug the printer into a different outlet. Also plug another electrical device into the outlet to check whether the outlet is operating properly. The printer doesn't print and the On Line light is off. Press On Line once; the On Line light should come on. The On Line light is on but nothing prints. Your computer may not be properly connected to the printer. Check both ends of the cable between your printer and computer. Also make sure your interface cable meets the specifications for your printer and computer. If you are using the serial interface, set the baud rate, protocol, data bit, and related settings. See your computer manual for the correct settings and interface requirements. If you are using a parallel interface, check the Speed setting in SelecType to match the value the computer requires; see Chapter 3 for details. Make sure that your software is properly set up for your printer. The imaging cartridge may be empty; if necessary, replace it as described in Chapter 5. Troubleshooting 6-11
