Print Port Related Problems
Printing data failure may be caused by a loose connection of the print server to the parallel or
USB port of the printer. Check to see if any of the pins on the parallel or USB port connector
are damaged. In addition, check the cable connection. If the pins are damaged, contact your
dealer for a replacement connector.
