l Your printer driver settings can override any settings from the
printer menu or printer front panel.
Before sending a file to the printer, many word processors send either
an “initialisation string” or an
I-Prime
signal to the printer.
The initialisation string contains codes that override the panel and
menu settings. To change your printer to ignore the reset code, enter
the
Menu Mode
, go to the
Set-Up
group and change the setting for
Reset Inhibit
to
YES
.
The I-Prime signal will automatically override any front panel settings
you have made. To eliminate this problem, enter the
Menu Mode
, go
to the
Parallel Interface
group and change the setting for
I-Prime
to
Invalid
.
For more information on changing menu settings, see “Changing the
Menu Settings” in chapter 3.
Problem
Nothing happens when I turn ON the printer.
Solution
Check the power cord connection to the outlet and to the printer. If
you are using a power strip, make sure it is turned ON, and that the
fuse hasn’t blown or that the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped.
Problem
The printer does not print when the computer sends data.
Solutions
1.
Is the
SEL
light on? If not, press the
SEL
key.
2.
Check that the interface cable is securely connected to both
the printer and the computer.
3.
If you have the optional serial interface board installed, check
to be sure that it is firmly seated in the printer.
