If the Printer Does Not Respond

If the printer does not respond correctly to the test tool, the message Serial
Port Error appears. In this case, check the following:
Verify that the printer is online.
•
Verify that the baud rate and flow control settings are the same for the test tool
and the printer.
•
Verify that the printer type in SETUP matches the type of printer connected to
the test tool.
•
Verify that the interface cable is securely connected to the printer and the test
tool.
•
Verify that the cable or adapter you are using is compatible with your printer.
Pin assignments for the test tool's serial port are given in "Specifications" in
Chapter 8. Refer to your printer's manual for specifications for your printer's
serial port.
