If using a different interface cable from the one included with the printer, verify the cable is a Centronics Interface cable and that the cable fully seats on the printer interface connector. If using the interface cable included with the printer, check the cable for continuity. No Cable OK? Reseat the cable on the printer and host interface connectors. Make sure the cable is firmly and fully seated on the printer and computer interface connectors. Retest. Yes May be a printer interface circuitry problem. Return the printer for repair.
