in your application software.
If the serial interface is used, make sure that the
RS-232C serial interface has been selected with the
slide switch. Make sure the interface settings were
correctly set up in INTERFACE menu using the
control panel. Make sure the baud rate, parity and
stop bits in your application software matches the
settings in the printer.

the cable is connected properly
the HDD is fitted properly
the HDD is formatted properly.
Turn off the printer. Wait a few seconds, then turn it on
