11. Test the interface with the computer.

In order to check that the printer and the computer are properly connected you must print by sending

an actual command from the computer.

1.

Turn on the printer's power switch and turn on the computer’s power as well.

2.

Wait until the ON LINE/A4 indicator lights.

3.

Enter and execute the following command at the DOS prompt on the computer screen.

ECHO !R! STAT; EXIT;> PRN

If this causes the printer to print a status page, then the printer and computer are properly connected.

If this does not print a status page, check that the printer cable is properly connected. The cable or

one of the connectors may also be broken.

Notes on Application Software

The computer and printer have been successfully connected by the procedures up to this point. In

order to print from software run on the computer, it is necessary to install a printer driver on the

computer to which the printer is connected. After the printer driver is installed, be sure to make proper

printer settings from within the software.
