Operating Problems and Solutions
Problem
The power does not turn on.
The printer is on but it will not
print.
• Make sure that the paper covers the paper-out sensor.
• For continuous forms (with optional tractors), make sure that the
paper feed lever is located correctly.
• Turn off the printer and remove the jammed paper. Remove any
obstruction from the paper path.
• Make sure that the paper is not folded, creased, or torn.
• For continuous forms (with optional tractors), make sure that the
left and right tractors are set so that the continuous forms are
stretched taut.
• Turn off the printer and remove the jammed paper. Remove any
obstructions from the paper path.
• For continuous forms (with optional tractors), make sure that the
incoming and outgoing paper stacks are correctly placed. Paper
should feed straight.
• Make sure that the forms tractors are positioned correctly for
the width of your paper and that the perforated holes of the paper
fit directly over the tractor pins.
• Check whether the mains voltage is correct.
• Make sure that the power cord is securely connected to both
the printer and the mains power outlet.
• Make sure that the power outlet is functional. If not so, use
other outlet.
• Turn the power off. Wait a minute and then turn the printer on
again. If the printer still has no power, contact your dealer.
• Make sure that the LED"OFFLINE" is off.
• If you use the interface cable, make sure it is securely
connected to both the printer and the computer.
• If you use serial interface, make sure the settings are the same
as PC communication port settings.
• Make sure paper is loaded and the paper feed lever is set
according to the used paper path (only valid with optional tractors).
• Run the printer Status Page. If printing executes normally, the
problem is caused by: the interface, the computer, incorrect
printer settings, or incorrect software settings.
• Make sure that the printer driver selected in your software is the
same as the emulation selected on the printer.
