Printing Problems

The printer does not print or stops printing.
The ON LINE light is on but nothing is printed.
Your computer may not be properly connected to the printer.
Perform the section on Testing the computer-to-printer
connection in Chapter 2. If the test shows an improper
connection, go on to the next three troubleshooting items below.
If the test shows a proper connection, skip to the last item in this
problem category.
The interface cable may not be plugged in securely. Check both
ends of the cable between the printer and the computer. If you
are using a parallel interface, secure the connector using the wire
retaining clips.
You may not be using the correct interface cable. Make sure that
your interface cable meets the specifications for the printer and
computer.
You may not have selected the correct interface settings with
SelecType. Select the appropriate interface (serial, parallel, or
optional). If you are using a serial interface, also set the baud
rate, protocol, stop bit, and related settings. See your computer
manual for the correct settings and interface requirements.
The software may not be installed properly for your printer. Use
the program's setup (or install) procedure to check the printer
settings on your computer's display; then reset the values
correctly. Make sure the SelecType operating mode (LJ-2P, FX, or
LQ) matches your program's printer driver. See Chapter 3.
