Printing Problems
Problem
Solution
The printer does not
print or stops
printing.
The ON LINE light is
on but nothing is
printed.
The interface cable may not be plugged in
securely. Check both ends of the cable
between the printer and the computer. If
you are using a parallel interface, secure
the connector using the wire retaining
clips.
You may not be using the correct interface
cable. Make sure that your interface cable
meets the specifications for the printer and
computer.
You may not have selected the correct
interface settings with SelecType. Select
the appropriate interface (serial or parallel).
If you are using a serial interface, also set
the baud rate, protocol, data bit, and
related settings. See your computer manual
for the correct settings and interface
requirements.
The software may not be installed properly
for your printer. Use the program’s setup
(or install) procedure to check the printer
settings on your computer’s display; then
reset the values correctly. Make sure the
SelecType operating mode (L-JET2P, FX, or
LQ) matches your program’s printer driver.
