H M&KING THE PRINTER FOR CORRECT OPER- On occasion, you may find that your printer isn’t operating nor-
mally according to the parameters we’ve set out in this manual. If
this should ever happen to you, please turn to the checklist given in
the following pages-you’ll probably find that it will take only mo-
ments to return the printer to correct working order.
We have found that the majority of printer problems are, in general, .-
also the easiest to solve. Most can be corrected through a series
of simple checks, and fall into three categories: electrical, me-
chanical, and those related to the DIP-switch configuration of the
printer.

simple checks:

You can verify the outlet is working properly by plugging in an-
other appliance in the same outlet.

@Is the printer cable securely fastened to the interface con-
nectars on both the printer and computer?

@Is the power switch turned on?
.Does the Power On lamp fail to light when you turn the printer
on?

in this section.
