Printing Problems
Problem
Solution
The printout is not
what you expected
(continued).
The printer prints a
series of strange
characters (continued).
The printer prints all
text on the same line.
Text lines are printed
with an extra blank line
between each line.
Every other line of text
is printed backwards.
All of the output is
garbled or printed as
asterisks.
The printer mode setting is not correct.
Make sure that the printer setting in your
software matches the printer mode you
set with SelecType. See Chapter 1.
A line feed command is not being sent at
the end of each line of text. Set the
SelecType auto menu to on. See Chapter
2 to change SelecType settings.
An extra line feed signal is probably
being sent. Set the SelecType auto line
feed menu to off. See Chapter 2 to change
SelecType settings.
This may happen if you use a word
processing program originally set up for
use with a daisy wheel printer. In this
case, the program sends every other line
backwards to compensate for the reverse
movement of the daisy wheel print
mechanism. See your software manual
for information on how to adjust your
application program.
The interface connector may not be
plugged in completely. Make sure
both ends of the interface cable are
plugged in securely.
