CHAPTER 6 TROUBLESHOOTING

Setting Up the Printer for DOS (For HL-730/730Plus series Only)

Question

I cannot print from my application software.

The printer prints, but it prints incorrect information. Sometimes it prints a couple of characters and then ejects the page, etc.

The printer does not print when I press the Print Screen Key. (Data lamp On)

The printer 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 printer?

Recommendation

∙Check if the DOS application software interface settings match that of your printer: 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 printer has any printer alarms active.

∙If the serial interface is used, make sure that the RS-232C serial interface is selected with the slide switch. Make sure that the interface settings are correctly set up with the proper DIP switches. Make sure the serial parameters of baud rates, parity and stop bits match between your application software and the printer.

This is an indication that your application printer emulation setting and the printer’s emulation do not match. Check in your application software which printer you have selected to make sure the printer is set up correctly. Remember this printer 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 printer but the printer 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 printer but the printer 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.

HL-700 Series specifications

The Brother HL-700 Series represents a unique blend of performance, reliability, and efficiency designed to meet the needs of both home users and small businesses. Launched during the late 1990s, this series has built a reputation for high-quality printing and user-friendly operation, making it a popular choice for various printing tasks.

One of the standout features of the Brother HL-700 Series is its impressive print speed. Capable of delivering up to 8 pages per minute, this printer significantly boosts productivity for users who require rapid document production. Furthermore, the device utilizes laser technology, ensuring sharp, crisp text and detailed graphics. This technology not only enhances print quality but also reduces the likelihood of smudging and blurring, which can be common with inkjet printers.

The HL-700 Series includes various models, catering to a wide range of printing needs. These models typically boast a high resolution of 600 x 600 dpi, providing exceptional clarity and professionalism in printed materials. Additionally, the series supports a variety of media sizes, allowing users to print everything from standard letter-size documents to custom-sized materials.

User convenience is a notable characteristic of the Brother HL-700 Series. The printers are designed with straightforward controls and a simple interface, making setup and operation easy for even the most novice users. The series also features a compact design that allows it to fit comfortably on desks or in small office spaces without compromising functionality.

Another significant advantage of the HL-700 Series is its cost-effective operation. Utilizing toner cartridges with a high page yield, users enjoy a lower cost per page compared to traditional inkjet printers. This is particularly beneficial for businesses with high-volume printing needs, as it reduces overall printing costs and frequency of replacements.

Network connectivity is another important feature of the HL-700 Series. Many models come with built-in parallel or USB connection options, enabling users to easily integrate the printer into existing office networks. This capability allows for shared access among multiple users, streamlining the printing process in multi-user environments.

In summary, the Brother HL-700 Series is a versatile option for anyone seeking reliable and efficient printing solutions. With its laser technology, impressive speed, high-resolution output, user-friendly design, and cost-saving features, it stands as an excellent choice for both personal and professional use.
