Page 124 highlights

CC-6 Troubleshooting If this happens: Jobs sent to the parallel port do not print Try this: • Increase the parallel "Port Timeout in Seconds" on the Fiery SI Control Panel • On the Fiery SI Control Panel, change the Ignore EOF Character setting. If you are printing ASCII format PostScript only, set Ignore EOF Character to No. If you are printing Binary format PostScript, set it to Yes. • If you print using the DOS copy command, make sure to use the /b option when printing binary files. • Restart your PC, enter BIOS setup, and if you have a BIOS setting for the parallel port, make sure that it is set to Compatible mode and not to Bi-Directional, ECP, EPP, or any other mode. • If you are using Windows 95, open the System Properties control panel, click the Device Manager tab, click Ports, double-click the parallel port you are using, and make sure that the driver selected is the standard Printer Port driver instead of the ECP Port, EPP Port, or any other driver. For information about changing this setting, see your Windows 95 documentation. • If the PostScript Printer Driver that you are using lets you select bi-directional communication, make sure that it is disabled. This is generally set from the Properties dialog box for the printer. If you are printing from a DOS window on a Windows 95 PC, display the Properties dialog box for the printer, click the Details tab, and then click Port Settings. In the Configure LPT port box that displays, turn the "Spool MS-DOS print jobs" option off.
