Nothing Prints (part 1)
If nothing prints even when the power lamp is lit, please wait a few moments. The printer needs a longer time to
process multicoloured or intricate data. If the unit still does not print, refer to the check list below.
Check the connection between the printer and
computer.

printer and computer?
Interface cables compatible with this printer are USB
and parallel cables. Check which type of cable is
supported by your computer, and then purchase one of

IEEE 1284 - Shielded type bi-directional parallel
interface cable (2m (6feet) Max.)

connectors of the printer and computer. It is also
