Pages Don’t Print

The green DATA indicator remains lit but does not blink

The print buffer contains unprinted data from the software application.

If you have already inserted paper in the printer, take the paper out and re-insert it to make sure the printer knows paper is ready. If that doesn’t work, you may need to turn the printer off, turn it back on, and restart the print job.

If paper has not already been inserted into the printer, insert a new sheet of paper and the print job should proceed.

An ASCII text application has not finished a text line with a CR/LF or form feed, and the printer does not know the line is complete. Printing another page or manually form feeding using the main switch may finish the page correctly

The application should be sending data to the printer, but the green DATA indicator is not lit

Make sure the interface cable is properly connected to both the printer and the host computer, or that the infrared unit is properly connected and oriented toward the infrared unit on the computer. See page 12, “Connecting to your Computer”.

Pages Are Partially Printed

The green DATA indicator light goes out while a page remains in the printer

The software application may not have sent a full page of data. Restart the print job.

The application may have sent the wrong information about page size or you may have put in the wrong paper size. Check the application and the print driver for the proper page size. Check to be sure the application and the page you are inserting in the printer are the same. Adjust one or the other if necessary.

Make sure the printer driver is not inadvertently set to “No Feed Mode.”

You may advance the paper position by pressing and holding the main switch while paper is loaded.

The printer ejects a partially printed page, and the green DATA indicator light remains lit or blinking

Make sure the Paper Size selection is correct using the application’s dialog box.
