DOS Setup Printing Difficulties
Suggestions
I cannot print from my
application software.
•
Check that the DOS application software interface settings
match those of your printer: for example, if you are using a
parallel
printer
cable,
you
would
probably
set
your
DOS
software printer port to LPTl.
• Check for an error message on the LCD.
•
If you are usingthe RSIOOM serial interface board, make sure
the RS-232C serial interface is selected with the slide switch.
Make sure the interface settings are correctly set up with the
proper DIP switches. Make sure the serial parameters for
baud rates, parity and stop bits match those in your application
software and the MFC.
The MFC prints, but
it prints incorrect
information.
Sometimes it prints a
couple of characters and
then ejects the page, etc.
This is an indication that your appHcation printer emulation setting
and the MFC’S printer emulation do not match. Check your
apphcation software to make sure you selected the correct printer
driver. The MFC emulates HP LaserJet IIP. Try setting the MFC
to HP emulation in Remote Printer Console and then select the HP
LaserJet IIP printer in your application software.
The MFC pi in
L
b
the first
part of my document but
does not print the last
page.
(The LCD shows
REMAINED DATA.)
This is common problem with database software and spreadsheet
software when they are not correctly set up. The data has been sent
to the printer but the printer did not receive the Page Eject
command. Press the PF/Cont Key to eject the page. Then ask your
software supplier how to add aPage Eject (or Form Feed) command
to the end of your print job.
How can I change the
User settings or default
settings on the MFC?
Use the Remote Printer Console (RPC) program.
Optional Apple Macintosh Serial Interface Board (RS100M) Setup Printing Difficulties
.... .
I cannot print from my
application software.
Make sure you installed the Macintosh printer driver in the
System Folder and selected it with Chooser.
Check
the
PORT
selection
within
the
Chooser:
it
should
match the port to which you physically attached the printer
cable.
The serial slide switch on the optional interface board should
be in the Apple (RS-422A) position.
Check the printer cable type:
you cannot use a LocalTalk
or straight-through cable.
See Chapter 14 for details on
different types of printer cables.
