Printing Problems

The printer does not print or stops printing.

The ON LINE light is on but nothing is printed.

Your computer may not be properly connected to the printer.

Perform the section on Testing the computer-to-printer

connection in Chapter 2. If the test shows an improper

connection, go on to the next three troubleshooting items below.

If the test shows a proper connection, skip to the last item in this

problem category.
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, parallel, or

optional). If you are using a serial interface, also set the baud

rate, protocol, stop 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 (LJ-2P, FX, or

LQ) matches your program’s printer driver. See Chapter 3.

The ON LINE light is off.

The printer is off line. Press

ON LINE

once to set the printer on line

(the ON LINE

light comes on).
