Troubleshooting
Cause
There may be a communica-
tion problem between the
printer and your computer.
Cable connections may
not be secure.
Interface cable may be
too long.
Emulation switching may
not be functioning properly.
The printer driver may not
be correct.
Printer control mode may
not match the printer device.
Previous software settings
may not be cleared.
Many graphics characters
and special symbols are
produced by different ASCII
codes according to the type
of printer and computer
being used.
Solution
Check the computer or the
application to see if the host
is configured correctly:
printer port, printer driver,
print manager.
Check that your cable
connections are secure.
Make sure your parallel
cable is less than 6.6 feet
(2 m).
Turn off Automatic
emulation switching mode;
see Chapter 9, Customizing
the Printer, for details.
Make sure you selected the
correct printer driver in your
software.
Check that the printer
control mode (BJ or Epson
LQ) matches the printer
driver you selected.
Check that the printer was
cleared of the previous
software settings before the
print job started.
Set the correct Control mode
using the operator panel.
Set the correct character
table using the printer's
FUNCTION settings. For
details on character tables
and character sets, contact
the Canon fax retrieval
system and request the
BJC-70 Printer Command
