Apple Macintosh Checklist

If you are experiencing problems with printing (not related to print
quality), check the following:

Is the printer properly connected to LocalTalk?

Have you used the Chooser to choose “LaserWriter” and
“QMS 4525 Print System”? The printer's current name (as it
appears on the console) is the name that appears in the Mac-
intosh's chooser box.

Is AppleTalk or EtherTalk active in the Chooser dialog box?

Is the printer type correct? The default printer type is “Laser-
Writer.”

IBM PC Compatible Computer Checklist

If you are experiencing problems with printing (not related to print
quality), check the following:

Does your application setup match the printer interface set-
tings?

Have you set up your printer port at the system level (DOS)
and installed a printer driver in your application? (Refer to
your DOS and application documentation.)

If you are using RS-232C serial interface, are you experienc-
ing a protocol problem? Set the printer to DTR/DSR protocol.
If that does not work, check your serial interface cable.
