Host Communication Problem, Corrupted Printouts | Intermate LX T-04

S o l v i n g P r o b l e m s

Corrupted Printouts

This is generally caused by selecting a Printer Driver not matching your printer. The control commands are then misinterpreted by the printer, causing corrupted printouts. If changing Printer Driver does not help, you can use the ASCII hexdump function (see Producing Hexdumps) to locate the control commands causing the problem.

Incorrect Page Breaks

This may be caused by an incorrect Printer Driver selection. There may also be a printer problem, causing it not to print all lines on a page.

Host Communication Problem

In case of missing system printouts, please follow this checklist.

1.Is the SYSTEM indicator lit?

Yes: The printer may not be properly connected. Please refer to Section 2.

2.Is the device address correct?

Make sure the address switch is set to the desired device address. Switch the Intermate LX T-04 off and on. Valid values for the device address are within the range 0 to 6.

3.Does the host configuration match the Intermate LX T-04 configuration?

The Intermate LX T-04 must be configured according to the IBM printer that has been defined for the device address on the twinax port.
