Printer Problems
Below are some general steps to follow if you are having
difficulty with your printer. If the problem persists and you need
more detailed information, check your printer manual. You may
see one of the following error messages:
❏
901
Parallel port error
❏
1101 Serial port error.
These error messages appear if you are having trouble with the
port to which your printer is connected. If it is connected to the
parallel port, you may see error number 901; if your printer uses
the serial port, you may see error number 1101.
1. If your printer does not work correctly immediately after you
install it, check that the printer has power and is properly
connected to the computer. (Also, make sure your printer
has paper in it.) See Chapter 1 or your printer manual for
instructions.
