Data Transfer

Printer doesn't generate a print
Be sure your printer is connected to the port to which you are sending the file.
If you are printing over a network, you will need to determine whether the problem is in
the network. Try connecting the printer directly to your computer and send the file again.
Parallel printing doesn't work
Some UNIX workstations have difficulty communicating with the printer using a parallel
connection. Try connecting the printer to the network using a network interface box.
To ensure the highest quality and reliability of the data that is sent to the printers, the
IEEE standard 1284 parallel cable is required to be used when utilizing the parallel port
on the printers.
This standard uses shielded twisted pair technology that reduces noise and increases
performance at higher transfer speeds.
To order from ENCAD, use part number 208559.
Be sure that your parallel cable does not exceed the maximum of 10 ft.
Try using another parallel cable. Be sure that it is securely connected.
