Recommendation
Make sure that the supplied Macintosh printer
driver is installed in the System Folder and it is
selected with Chooser.
Check the PORT selection within the Chooser: it
should match the port to which you physically
attached the printer cable.
The serial slide switch of the optional interface
board should be in the Apple (RS-422A) position.
Check the printer cable type: you cannot use a
LocalTalk or straight-through cable. Refer to
Chapter 4 for details on printer cable type.
Recommendation
Check to see if the "Paper Empty" message
appears on your computer screen or the Alarm
and Paper lamps are blinking on the printer
control panel. If so, the multi-purpose sheet
feeder may be out of paper or not properly
installed. If it is empty, load a new stack of paper
into the feeder.
If there is paper in the multi-purpose sheet feeder,
make sure it is straight. If the paper is curled, you
should straighten it before printing. Sometimes it
is helpful to remove the paper, turn the stack over
and put it back into the paper tray.
Reduce the amount of paper in the multi-purpose
sheet feeder, then try again.
Re-insert the paper firmly, one sheet at a time.
You can load envelopes from either the multi-
purpose sheet feeder or the manual feed slot. Your
application software must be set up correctly to print
on the envelope size you are using. This is usually
done in the page setup or document setup menu of
your software. Refer to your application manual.
You can use plain paper, envelopes, transparencies,
labels, and organizer paper. For information on
loading paper, see "Paper Handling" in Chapter 2.
See "PAPER JAMS" in this chapter.
