Problem

Probable Causes

Printer does not print

(serial RS232)

* Cable connection problem or invalid pin connections.

* Baud rate and format on serial port 1 does not match printer.

TB1 to pin 7 of TB1 CTS/RTS.

* Transmitter/receiver IC damaged (U7 MC145406).

Continuous output does

not update

* “TX CONTINUOUS” disabled (configuration Parameter 28)

* Cable connection problem or invalid pin connections.

* Baud rate and format on serial port 2 does not match receiver.

* Transmitter/receiver IC damaged (U7 MC145406).

Input port 1 not working * Baud rate and format on serial port 1 does not match host.

*Cable connection problem or invalid pin connections.

*Internal switch SW1 (CL/RS232) not set properly for input

type. *RS232 transmitter/receiver IC damaged (U7 MC145406).

*Current loop receiver IC damaged (U4 4N36).

damaged (10114 board U23 4N36).

Input port 3 not working

Desktop10108 Board

has RS232 or CL.

Stainless 10114 Board

has RS232 or RS485.

* RS422/485 transmitter/receiver IC damaged (RS422 {U10

75176} RS485 {U14 75176}). }. Current loop receiver IC

damaged (10108 U4 4N36).

“Er CtS” error message. * Cable connection problem. Check CTS signal TB1 pin 7. This

signal must be high in order to transmit. Jumper to pin 8 of TB1.

* Printer is not ready or it is busy.

* Transmitter/receiver IC damaged (U6 - MC145406).
