Troubleshooting UNIX
D.1 Introduction
If there are problems printing to FastPort while using UNIX:
1. Verify that FastPort is connected and powered on correctly.
2. Verify that the LEDs are flashing. See Appendix G if the LEDs are
flashing incorrectly.
If the unit checks out, continue with the examples below.
D.2 Troubleshooting Tips
The following examples assume that “alpha” is the hostname for the unit
and that the host software is loaded in the directory
/usr/local/digi .
D.2.1 No Lights on the Unit
Check the power supply. Change to 110 VAC for the USA, if necessary.
D.2.2 ASCII Text File Prints as a Single Line
UNIX does not send a carriage return and a line feed as line terminators,
but does send a line feed. When printing ASCII text files from UNIX using
host software on a BSD system:
1. Go to the spool directory:
/usr/spool/< name of printer> on a BSD machine
2. Add mapcrlf to the “.fpconfig” file.
If the last page does not get ejected:
• Add formfeed to the “.fpconfig” file
