Cause What to do
The printer is paused. Press the Pause button to turn off the
Pause light.
The interface cable is not
plugged in securely.
Check that both ends of the cable
between the printer and the computer
are plugged in securely. If the cable is
connected correctly, run a self test as
described in “Printing a Self Test” on
page 131.
Your interface cable does not
meet the printer and/or
computer specifications.
Use an interface cable that meets the
requirements of both the printer and
computer. See “Electronic” on page 210
and your computer documentation.
Your software is not properly
set up for your printer.
Select your printer from the Windows
desktop or in your application. If
necessary, install or reinstall the printer
driver software as described in the Setup
Sheet.
The printer makes noise, but nothing prints or printing stops
abruptly.
Cause What to do
The paper-thickness lever is
set incorrectly.
Set the paper-thickness lever to match
the thickness of your paper. See
“Adjusting the Paper-Thickness Lever”
on page 15 for instructions.
The ribbon has too much slack,
the ribbon has come loose, or
the ribbon cartridge is not
installed properly.
Remove any slack in the ribbon by
turning the ribbon-tightening knob, or
reinstall the ribbon cartridge as
described in the section under
“Replacing the ribbon cartridge” on
page 164.
