To verify communication with a parallel cable

To verify that the printer and computer are set up correctly to communicate with each other, print a directory list.

1Turn the computer and printer on and wait for the printer to bring itself online (the printer is online when the Ready light on the printer control panel is lit).

2At the MS-DOS®prompt, type DIR>LPT1 and press ENTER.

Note

If you are using a UNIX® environment, use the equivalent commands.

3If the Data light on the printer control panel display stays on, press GO. Otherwise, go to step 4, below.

4If the printer prints the directory list, the printer setup is complete and the printer is ready for the software to be set up to work with the new printer.

- Or -

If a message appears on the printer control panel, see the online user guide for more information about the message.

- Or -

If the printer neither prints the directory list nor displays an error message on the printer control panel, check that all power cables are plugged in and that all cables connecting the printer and computer are securely fastened.
