Serial to Parallel Converter
Troubleshooting

Problem: Data are printed correctly at first but become
garbled.

Cause: Baud rate may be set too high.

Action: Ensure the baud rate of the printer and the

serial to parallel converter are set to 9600
baud.

Cause: Baud rate is not set correctly.

Action: Ensure the baud rate of the printer and the

serial to parallel converter are set to the
same value.

Problem: Printer will not print.

Cause: Problem with the printer.

Action. Refer to the corrective action on page 142.

Cause: Serial card is installed in the printer.

Action: If a serial card is installed in your printer,

you do not need the serial to parallel
converter. Disconnect the converter and
connect the instrument directly to the
printer.

Cause: The serial to parallel converter is not turned on.

Action: Ensure the serial to parallel converter is

connected to the AC adapter and the
adapter is plugged into an AC outlet. The
red LED on the top of the converter will be
on. See
