Recommendation


Turn on and off the printer or reset the printer.


Make sure your application software is correctly
set up to use this printer by checking the printer
settings in your application software.


Check the printer emulation settings. If you can
use the supplied RPC program, use it to change
the settings as required. Also, you can print the
current setting list from the RPC program or
Printer Control Panel.


Make sure that the correct interface type and
settings are set up to match your computer. Be
sure to use the RS-422A serial interface for
Macintosh computers and the RS-232C serial
interface for PCs. Refer to
INTERFACE BOARD RS100M"
The printer received a very complex print job and
could not process part of the page. This may be
solved by the following ways.


If you are using Windows 3.1/95/98 with the
supplied printer driver, change the following
settings in the driver and try again.
Graphics Mode
TrueType Mode
Use Printer TrueType Font


Set the page protection mode to "AUTO" or your
document size.


Reduce the print resolution or reduce the
complexity of your document and try again.
This is a problem usually relating to serial interface
settings. Your computer is not recognizing the
printer's input buffer full signal. Causes could be
incorrect serial cable (incorrectly wired or too long)
or incorrect setting of your computer serial interface.
Some applications download several types and sizes
of fonts. This can use up your printer memory very
quickly. Set the Page Protection to AUTO, reduce the
number of font sizes within your application, reduce
the resolution, or purchase additional SIMM for the
printer.
Most laser printers have a restricted area that cannot
be printed on. Usually the first two lines and last two
lines of text cannot print (leaving 62 printable lines).
Adjust the top and bottom margins in your document
to allow for this.
