BUFFER OVERRUN
The print buffer has
overflowed on a serial
interface. The printed output
may contain random *
(asterisk) characters. Make
a configuration printout.
1. Verify that the printer matches
the host serial interface
configuration settings for Data
Protocol, Baud Rate, Data Bits,
Stop Bits, Parity, Data Terminal
Ready, and Request to Send. Set
printer serial interface parameters
to match those of the host.
2. Send a print job to the printer. If
the message appears, go to
Communications Failures,
page 112.
CLEAR PAPER JAM
Paper jam. 1. Inspect the paper path for jams.
Clear jams. Load paper.
2. Press PAPER ADVANCE
several times and check that
forms feed without erratic motion,
noise, or pin-hole damage. If
forms do not feed, go to Paper
feeds poorly, page 106.
If forms feed, go to step 3.
3. Press VIEW once and check that
forms move up. Make sure the
forms thickness lever is not set
too tightly.
4. Press VIEW again and check that
the forms thickness lever rotates
and the paper moves down. If the
forms thickness lever does not
rotate and/or the paper does not
move down, refer to Reverse
paper feed: platen does not
open, page 108.
5. Check the paper tension between
the tractors. Adjust the right
tractor so that it does not pull
paper too tightly or leave it too
loose. The right tractor should
hold the paper under “slight”
tension.
6. Inspect the ribbon mask for
bends or deformation. Replace if
damaged.
7. Check and adjust the platen open
belt. Replace the belt if it is
damaged.
