Verify that the cable being used is firmly connected at both the printer and the PC. 
If you changed the switch settings, verify that the switches are correct. Additionally, try 
restoring the switch settings to what they were just before printing was last done 
successfully. 
If you are using an RS-232C cable, please verify that the installed software and printer 
driver are properly configured for RS-232C cable output. 

Also please verify that the communications settings and the communications 
speed on the printer Settings Panel match the communications settings and speed 
of the software and printer driver. 

Furthermore, there are some personal computers that have several RS-232C ports. 
Please verify that the port that you are using matches the settings within the 
software and printer driver that you are using. 

If you are using a printer (parallel port) cable, please verify whether the configuration 
settings of the software and printer driver you are using are correct for printer cable 
output. 
When error sound rings at receiving the data, confirm whether the switch of the control 
panel is set correctly. Especially, check if the software to support and the switch for 
format matches correctly or not, and also, when RS-232C communication check if it is 
set to do flow control by confirming the switch and setup of software at the personal 
computer’s side.

 

 

Not Printing the Data Properly 

 

If the Braille or ink characters of some rows are scrambled, or are missing dots, or have 
excess dots here and there, please perform a test print. Refer to “Chapter 6 Section 1. 
Printing” (P
age 13) for instructions. If excess or missing dots are also occurring on the 
printer test page, please contact the sales agent. 
Verify the settings of the printer output software and the printer name.
