Verifying the Serial Port Setting Changes

1

Reboot the printer.

2

Compare the serial port settings listed on the start-up page
to those in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

3

Try the communication test again.

If a blank page ejects from the printer, the printer and the com-
puter are communicating. Continue with “PC Printing Software,”
to finish connecting the printer. If a blank page does not eject and
you typed the file correctly, go to the “Printer Problem Checklist”
section later in this chapter and refer to your DOS documentation
for more information.
