2) The printer is not working (2)
Description :
After receiving the printing order, no response at all or the low speed of printing occurs
due to wrong setup of the environment rather than malfunction of the printer itself.
1. Secure more space of the hard disk.
Not working with the message 'insufficient
printer memory' means hard disk space
problem rather than the RAM problem.
In this case, provide more space for the
hard disk. Secure more space using the
disk utilities program.
The connection of the cable and printer
port is not proper. Check if the connection
is properly done and if the parallel port in
CMOS is rightly set up.
As a printer port, Select ECP or SPP
among SPP(Normal), ECP, and EPP
modes(increase printing speed) SPP
normal mode support 8-bit data transfer,
while ECP Mode transfer the 12-bit data.
If the regular font is not printing, the cable
or the printer driver may be defective.
Turn the PC and printer off, and reboot the
system to print again. If not solved,
double-click the printer in my computer If
the regular fonts are not printed this time
again. the cable must be defective so
replace the cable with new one.
2. Printing error occurs even
if there is enough space in the hard disk.
3. Check the parallel-port-related
items in the CMOS Setup.
4. Reboot the system to print.
