  If the Altec Barcode Reader is not printing, first ensure the interface cable is securely connected. If you're using a serial port, the cable pin configuration must be pin to pin; if it's not, replace the cable. Also, verify that the serial port settings are consistent between the host and the printer, and that the correct printer port is selected in the Windows driver. For Ethernet connections, ensure the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway are configured correctly.
