(Status cannot be sent to the computer regardless of the
printer status)
To reset, use the Dump function of the adjustment software to
rewrite the setting to the default (01H). Refer to Chapter 5 for
details.
NOTE:The Stylus PHOTO 950 has a default setting function, but
there is no function available for the customer to change the
setting for the 08H address. Even if the default value (01H)
is changed to 00H or 02H, the EEPROM data may become
corrupted, so even if the communication problem is fixed,
there is a high possibility that the various adjustment values
may be distorted. Because of this, all parameter electrical
adjustments should be carried out afresh. Refer to Chapter 5
for details.
