Troubleshooting
Solution
Check the address configuration of the adapter
card and make sure that it does not conflict
with another card in the system.
Configure the card with the appropriate
software.
Make sure the card jumpers are set correctly
and reseat the card.
Solution
Make sure that the power switch is depressed
or set to the On position. If power is applied
to the printer, the green power LED should be
illuminated.
Make sure that the power cable is plugged into
a live power source.
Try another printer, if one is available.
Solution
Make sure the data cable between the printer
and the system is properly connected. Make
sure that it is connected to the proper port.
Make sure the connector and cable have no
bent or broken pins.
If the printer that you are trying to print to is
not the default printer, make sure that you have
selected it through the program printer setup
function.
