CHAPTER 7 TROUBLESHOOTING Setting Up the Machine for DOS Question I cannot print from my application software. The machine prints, but it prints incorrect information. Sometimes it prints a couple of characters and then ejects the page, etc. The machine does not print when I press the Print Screen Key. (Data lamp On) The machine prints the first part of my document but does not print the last page. (Data lamp On) How can I change the User settings or default settings of the machine? Recommendation  Check if the DOS application software interface settings match that of your machine: for example, if you are using a parallel printer cable, you would most likely set your DOS software printer port to LPT1.  Check if the machine has any alarms active. Check if the appropriate printer is selected in your application software. This is an indication that your application machine emulation setting and the machines emulation do not match. Check in your application software which printer you have selected to make sure the machine is set up correctly. Remember the machine emulates three widely used printer selections: HP LaserJet IIP, Epson FX-850, and IBM Proprinter XL. Try setting the printer into HP emulation and then select the HP LaserJet IIP printer in your application software. Press the panel switch. The data has been sent to the machine but the machine did not receive the Page Eject command: print screens do not send this command. This was a common problem with database software and spreadsheet software when not correctly set up. The data has been sent to the machine but the machine did not receive the Page Eject command. Press the panel switch to eject the page. Then check with your software supplier on how to add a Page Eject (or Form Feed) command to the end of your print job. Use the remote printer console (RPC) program. 7-11

Setting Up the Machine for DOS
Question
Recommendation
I cannot print from my
application software.
Check if the DOS application software interface
settings match that of your machine: for example,
if you are using a parallel printer cable, you would
most likely set your DOS software printer port to
LPT1.
Check if the machine has any
alarms active.
Check if the appropriate printer is selected in your
application software.
The machine prints, but it
prints incorrect information.
Sometimes it prints a couple of
characters and then ejects the
page, etc.
This is an indication that your application machine
emulation setting and the machines emulation do not
match. Check in your application software which
printer you have selected to make sure the machine is
set up correctly. Remember the machine emulates
three widely used printer selections: HP LaserJet IIP,
Epson FX-850, and IBM Proprinter XL. Try setting
the printer into HP emulation and then select the HP
LaserJet IIP printer in your application software.
The machine does not print
