Check power cable connection and power outlet for
your printer. If you are using an extension lead or
power strip, make sure it is turned on and connected
to the power supply. Also check that the fuse has not
blown nor the circuit breaker tripped.
Is the ONLINE indicator on. If not, press the
ONLINE button. Check that the printer interface
cable is securely connected to the printer and the
computer.
Check the printer driver selected matches the printer
and the selected printer emulation. Check that any
embedded printer commands have been entered
correctly.
Refer to Recoverable Alarms below.
Switch off and then back on. If this does not clear the
alarm, contact the manufacturer.
Close the top access cover and the printer goes to the
off line state. Press the ONLINE button to turn the
printer back on line and ready for printing. If the
printer was printing when the Cover Open alarm came
on, the Data Remain alarm comes on when the top
access cover is closed.
Press the ONLINE button to cancel the alarm and turn
the printer back on line. The printer continues to print.
Load more continuous form paper. After loading paper
(refer to Paper in Chapter 1) the alarm is cancelled.
Remove any paper causing the jam and make sure the
paper is loaded correctly. Press the ONLINE button to
cancel and clear the alarm.
