Printer Problems

Make sure the printer has power and is properly connected

to the computer. (Also, be sure your printer has paper in it.)

Check the printer manual for the printer’s correct DIP

switch or control panel settings.

If you are using more than one parallel port or more than

one serial port, check the primary and secondary port

settings in the System Configuration program to make sure

they are correct. See Chapter 2 for instructions.

Try running the System diagnostic tests described in

Appendix A. If either the parallel or serial port test

indicates an error, contact your printer dealer.

If you are having trouble with a dot matrix printer, also try

running the printer diagnostic test. (See Appendix A.)

Option Card Problems

Make sure the option card is properly inserted in its slot.

Check the installation procedure described in Chapter 5

and also see the instructions that came with the card.

Be sure that you ran the System Configuration program to

update your configuration after installing the card. See

Chapter 2.

Check to see if you set the necessary DIP switches or

jumpers on the option card. Also be sure you performed the

correct setup procedures for the software you are using

with the option card. See your option card manual and

check your System Configuration information for that card.
