Printing Problems

Text is printed with an extra blank line even after you set AUTOFEED

to off.
Your interface cable

may

be sending the extra line feed

command. Disable

the

AUTOFEED signal of your interface. See

the interface specifications in Chapter 8.
Some

or

all of the output is garbled

or

printed as asterisks.

The interface cable may not be plugged in completely. Make sure

that both ends of the cable are plugged in securely.

The interface may not be configured correctly. If you are using a

serial interface, make sure that both the computer and printer are

set to use the same number of data bits per word and

that

they

both use the same parity, baud rate, and number of stop bits.
You can also use the data dump mode to check the data being

sent

from the computer. See the section on data dumps later in

this chapter.

If the printer still does not print correctly, contact your dealer or

a qualified service person.

The position of the printout is not what you expected.

The printed page length differs

from the actual length of the paper.

Check

the

page length setting in your application program and

make sure that it is set correctly for the selected page length.
The right or left margin setting does not match the actual width of the

paper.

The margin settings of your software program may not be

correct. Change the settings of your application program. If this

does

not

correct the problem, you can change the right or left

margin with SelecType. The procedure for changing margin

settings varies depending on

the

selected printer mode. See

Chapter 4.
