Display does not come on
Check that the power cord is plugged in and the printer switch is turned
on.
Push any control panel button. The display should come on.
Printing doesn't start immediately when a file is sent
A short delay between sending the file and starting to print is normal,
particularly if you are using a serial port. If you are using the serial port,
make sure you're using the correct interface cable and that it is securely
connected to the proper ports on both the printer and the computer.
(ENCAD serial cable PN 203977)
If you are using a serial interface, make sure that the RS-232/422 settings
match the requirements of your hardware and software. (See Appendix
H.)
If you are using a Windows application, be sure the Print Manager is
OFF. Turn off the Print Manager with the ENCAD Windows driver.
File will not print
If you are using a serial cable, check that it is ENCAD PN 203977 for
PC systems. Be sure that RS232/422 settings in your software match
those on your printer.
Check your electrical connections.
From your software application, print to a file and send the file to the
printer in DOS using the DOS Copy command. At the DOS prompt, type
COPY /b filename portname (LPT or COM port). Alternately, use the
GO.EXE program. To print the file, type GO filename. This program is
supplied on your Utilities disk and can also be downloaded from the
ENCAD BBS.
Slow printing under Windows
Windows applications naturally print slower than DOS applications. Be
sure the Windows Print Manager is turned OFF.
