	Interface Troubleshooting
	This section provides an overview of the printer’s interface
	requirements.
	Communications Check
Note	Communication problems are normally the customer’s responsibility.
	Time spent attempting to resolve these problems may not be covered
	by the product’s Hewlett-Packard warranty.
	Refer the customer to the network administrator for assistance in
	troubleshooting network problems.
	If the printer is not connected to an MS-DOS-based host, proceed to
	the Communications Checks table in this section.
	Test Message
	After the printer is installed, verify communications between the
	printer and the IBM-compatible computer. Enter the following at the
	DOS prompt:
	C:\DIR>LPT1 Enter (for printing to parallel port #1)
	The printer should print a directory listing of the C: \ directory.

	valuable information regarding the current status of the EIO
	accessories. Before attempting to troubleshoot a network problem or
	notifying your network consultant of a problem, always print a
