encoded properly or encoded onto a bad magnetic stripe, the printer is unable to verify the encoded data. When this happens, the printer will simply eject the card before printing begins and the on-line LED will begin flashing. Press the on-line button to resume encoding and printing with a new card.

The on/cancel LED light is flashing.

¥If the on/cancel LED is flashing, this indicates a possible error with your printerÕs memory. Contact your authorized reseller for technical assistance.

I’m having problems printing from Windows 95/98.

¥Print with either the 32-Bit Print Spooler or the Write Direct to Port option selected from within the printer driver setup (see Chapter 4, Section IV for more information on these options). In most cases, one or the other of these options will provide the best results when printing from Windows 95/98.

¥Due to the wide variety of PC hardware and software configurations, however, some systems may print more effectively through the Windows 95/98 print spooler. If you choose not to print with either the 32-Bit Print Spooler or the Write Direct to Port option selected, but instead wish to print through the Windows print spooler, the following steps will help you optimize your system for printing:

1.Click the Start button, point to Settings, and select Printers. When the Printers window appears, click on the Quatro printer icon using the right mouse button, and select the Properties option.

2.Select the Details tab, then select the Spool Settings button.

3.Select the Print directly to the printer option and click on OK.

4.Again from the Details tab, select the Port Settings button.

5.Deselect both the Check Port state before printing option and the Spool MS-DOS print jobs option, and click on OK.

6.Increase the Transmission retry value of the Details tab from 45 to 900. Click on OK to close the Properties window.
