B. GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING SUGGESTIONS

The printer beeps just before each ribbon panel is printed.

This indicates the print ribbon is running low and that is will soon run out. Print until the ribbon is gone and replace the ribbon when necessary (see Section 4-B).

The printer doesn’t seem to work at all.

Make sure that the power cord is plugged in securely on both ends and that the printer is ON. Confirm power is applied by pressing the On/Cancel button. Also, be sure the printer is ready. The On and Ready LED lights should both be illuminated when the printer is ready to print.

Make certain that the printer cable is securely connected. An error message in the software application telling you that the printer is not responding is usually due to a missing or defective interface cable.
