If you are using a serial interface, make sure that the slide switch
of the serial interface is in the correct serial position and that the
interface settings have been correctly set up in the INTERFACE
mode using the control panel.

This problem is usually related to serial interface settings. Your
computer is not recognizing the printer input buffer’s full signal.
This could be caused by an incorrect serial cable (incorrectly
wired or too long) or incorrect setup of your computer serial
