Printer Problems

Your printer manual describes methods to solve most printer problems. If your printer does not work correctly right after you install it, make sure the printer has power and is properly connected to the computer. The printer manual tells you how to connect your printer.

If you have printing problems, check the printer manual for the printer’s DIP switch settings. The DIP switches on a printer help it communicate properly with the computer.

Be sure your software is set up for your printer.

Option Card Problems

If you install an option card and get unexpected results, check the following:

1.Is the option card installed correctly?

2.Did you follow the setup and operation procedures in the option card instructions?

3.Did you set any necessary DIP switches or jumpers on the option card? See your option card instructions.

4.Did you change any necessary jumper settings in the main unit? See Appendix A, “Jumper Settings.”

5.If you added an external device, did you use the proper cable to connect the peripheral to the port or option card connector on the back panel?

6.Did you perform any necessary post-installation setup procedures for the operating system? Refer to the Diagnostics section in this manual, your MS-DOS manual, or other software manual for instructions.
