The LINE light is
off.

Solution
The software may not be installed properly
for your printer. Check the printer
settings and make the necessary changes.
The interface cable may be loose. Check
both ends of the cable between the printer
and the computer. Secure the connector
using the wire retaining clips.
You may not be using the correct interface
cable. Make sure your interface cable
meets the printer and the computer
specifications. Try the self test described
in Chapter 1. If the self test is successful,
the problem is with the software and not
with the interface cable.
The printer may be off line and cannot
receive data. Press the ON LINE button.
The ON LINE light should go on. See
Chapter 3.
The paper may be set too far to the right,
so that the paper detector cannot sense it.
Move the paper a little to the left. The
PAPER OUT light should go off.
The printer may be out of paper. Load more
paper into the printer. See Chapter 2.
