Troubleshooting
What to do
Turn off the printer and check the power
cable connections between the printer
and the electrical outlet; then turn the
printer back on.
If the electrical outlet is controlled by an
outside source such as a wall switch,
make sure the switch is turned on or
plug another electrical device into the
outlet to check whether the outlet is
operating properly.
What to do
Perform the procedure described in
"Connecting the Printer to a Computer"
in the Setup Sheet.
Check both ends of the cable between
the printer and the computer. Be sure to
secure the connector using the wire
retaining clips.
If you are using the parallel interface,
make sure you use a double-shielded,
twisted-pair interface cable no longer
than six feet in length.
