Problem Recommendation Nothing is printed Make sure the printer is switched ON, and that the power source is ON. Check the connection between the printer and the computer. Be sure you are using the correct cable to connect the computer to the printer. Make sure the PAPER OUT light is OFF If it's ON, reload the paper. Check the indicator light on the printer to see if the printer is on line. Use the manual for your operating system or applications software to find out the command necessary to configure the computer. Look for a command like STAT or CONFIGthe name depends on the operating system you use. READY light flickers when you try to print. If you are using the parallel interface, either you have changed switch 2-7 to OFF by mistake, or you have an incorrect printer cable. If you are using the serial interface, the setting of the LQ's baud rate, parity, number of bits per character and number of stop bits may not match the computer's settings. Either change the configuration of the computer or reset the DIP switches on the LQ until the printer and computer match. Refer to your computer's manual or your dealer for details. All the text is printed on the same line. This happens if there is no line feed signal being sent from either the computer or the printer at the end of each line of text. To remedy the problem, change the setting of DIP switch 2-8 from OFF to ON. D-2
