Troubleshooting
What to do
Make sure you are using the correct
interface cable and that the
communications protocol is correct.
See "Connecting the Printer to Your
Computer" on page 1-8. If you
installed an optional serial interface
card, also see "Installing an optional
interface card" on page 1-10.
Select the correct character table using
your software or the default-setting
mode. The character table setting in
your software overrides settings
made in the default-setting mode.
Choose the correct printer from the
Windows desktop or in your
application before printing.
Make sure that your application
software is configured correctly for
your printer. See your application
documentation. If necessary, install or
reinstall the printer driver software as
described on page 1-12.
Use your application software to
select the font.
