Charging the microFlash

Using an AC Adapter

If the printer does not respond when it is connected to an AC adapter, there could be a problem with the adapter or with the wall outlet.

Using a Cigarette Lighter Adapter

If the printer does not respond when it is connected to a cigarette lighter adapter, it is possible that the fuse may be blown. To check, remove the cigarette lighter adapter from all power supplies and unscrew the cover over the pin. Pull out the fuse. If the elements in the fuse appear broken, replace the fuse.

Programming Problems

1)Check to see that you have installed all of the correct settings as required by your particular hand-held computer. Using the information in Chapter 3, you should have chosen the communications settings (baud rate, handshaking, etc.) (However, if you are using IrDA, the infrared standard set by the Infrared Data Association, you will not have to worry about baud rate or parity or data bit settings as they are set automatically).

2)Updating your firmware will delete any data stored in the printer’s internal memory. Thus, you may need to add your old format files to your new setup program before updating your configuration.

3)If you are upgrading from the microFlash version 2.01, you will need to alter your application program substituting Easy Print commands for any “Template” commands you may have used with your old microFlash.

4)Be sure that your Easy Print “Print” command strings refer only to fonts and bar codes that you have downloaded.

5)Be sure that the format is correct for your Easy Print or Line Printer Mode commands. Refer to Chapter 6 for the escape sequences involved in Line Printer Mode and for the English-like commands used in Easy Print. Remember the rules below when formulating an Easy Print command.
