Setting up the Printer Hardware

Question

The printer does not work. All lamps are off.

The printer does not print.

The printer may be in sleep mode. Press any switch to wake up printer.

Check the following:

∙The protective parts have been removed.

∙The toner cartridge and drum unit are installed properly.

∙The interface cable is securely connected between the printer and computer.

∙Notice if any lamps are blinking. Notice which lamps are blinking and refer to Operator Call section of this manual.

Setting up the Printer for DOS

Questions

I cannot print from my application software.

Recommendation

∙Check if the DOS application software interface settings match that of your printer. ( i.e., if you are using a parallel printer cable, then 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.
