Problem Solving and Maintenance
Recommendation
Check the SelecType Country setting in
Chapter 2, and see the International
Character Tables in Appendix B.
See Chapter 3 for specific instructions
loading paper.
Check the SelecType settings to ensure
that you've selected the correct paper
size.
If the test pattern did not print as shown
in Step 8 of Chapter 1, the printer is
faulty. Refer the problem to your dealer. If
the pattern is printed but is patchy or
faint, check that the ribbon is installed
correctly.
The paper sensor is not covered properly.
Turn the printer off and check to see that
the paper loaded correctly
IS
If the printer beeps six times (in two
groups of three), there is a problem with
the print head and ribbon carriage. Turn
off the printer and refer the problem to
your dealer.
Check the SelecType panel lights. If
[PRINT
HEAD HOT WAIT! is is displayed,
the print head is becoming too hot and
the printer has stopped to protect it from
damage.
When the print head cools down. the
printer beeps once more, the ON LINE
and READY lights come ON again, the
panel displays t ON LINEI, and printing
resumes. You do not have to do anything
to restart the printing. Don't worry if the
print head gets hot. it is only likely to
happen during long periods of graphics
printing.
