Problem Check List - IBM 5256-1 Maintenance Information Manual

Problem Check List
If the condi.tions in step 19 do not appear:
1. Ask the system operator if the system is operating
and if it is configured to recognize the setting of
the Address switches. Wait until the system is
operational before proceeding.
2. Set the Power switch to the Off position and
recheck all cable connections to make sure they
are properly positioned and tightened. When you
have made sure they are, set the Power switch to
the On position.
3. If your printer is connected to a preceding station
(not connected directly to the system), make sure
the blue Terminator switch on the preceding
station is set to position 2.
4. If your printer is not connected to a following
station (no cable in socket 2), be sure the
Terminator switch (if there is one) is set to
position 1.
Stations without a Terminator switch can only be
used as the last station on the line or connected
directly to the system. In either case the
address must always be 000.
5. If the conditions still do not appear, refer to
Chapter 5. Problem Determination in the IBM 5256
Printer Operator's Guide, GA21-9260.
