Problem

My word processor files do not print the way I have the menu and front panel set.

Solution

Remember:

•Settings in your software application can override settings in your printer driver.

•Your printer driver settings can override any settings from the printer menu or printer front panel.

Before sending a file to the printer, many word processors send either an “initialization string” or an I-Prime signal to the printer.

The initialization string contains codes that override the panel and menu settings. To change your printer to ignore the reset code, enter the Menu Mode, go to the Set-Up group and change the setting for Reset Inhibit to Yes.

The I-Prime signal will automatically override any front panel settings you have made. To eliminate this problem, enter the Menu Mode, go to the Parallel Interface group and change the setting for I Prime to Invalid.

For more information on changing menu settings, see “Changing the Menu Settings” in Chapter 4.

Problem

Nothing happens when I turn on the printer.

Solution

Check the power cord connection to the outlet and to the printer. If you are using a power strip, make sure it is turned on, and that the fuse hasn’t blown or that the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped.
