If the test program fails, you will want to make another test that
checks to see if your printer port is wired correctly. You can
perform the tests either from DOS or Windows.
To verify from DOS that your printer port is working
1. Disconnect the plotter from your printer port and connect a
regular printer to the port.
2. At the DOS command prompt type:
ECHO This is a test > PRN
3. Press ENTER to redirect the string of characters to your printer.
Your printer should have printed the string “This is a test”.
To verify from Windows that your printer port is working
1. Disconnect the 195 plotter from your printer port and connect a
regular printer to the port.
2. From Windows run NotePad, WordPad, or any text editor.
3. In the text editor open a small text file or create one.
4. Have your text editor print the file.
If you are able to print from DOS or Windows using a regular
printer, then it may be that your Waverley/Dowty/Ultra 195 or 200
plotter either is not cabled correctly, not configured correctly, or
is not working. Recheck your connections and configuration
settings.
