Troubleshooting the QCP or QCHSP

Having the incorrect printer interface configuration setting for the type of printer
you are using may cause printing difficulties. Set the QCP to Std and the QCHSP
to HSP.
If you use the printer infrequently, the print impression sometimes becomes weak
because the ribbon dries out. If the printed material is difficult to read and you
suspect this is the cause of the problem, advance to a properly inked portion of
the ribbon by pressing the power switch into the Paper Feed position.
The QCSSP is shown in Figure 10-6.
