If the printer and PC are communicating, a blank page ejects
from the printer.
If a blank page doesn’t eject and you typed the file correctly, you
may want to check your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to see if LPT1 (the
parallel port) is being directed to COM1 (the serial port):
a
If the AUTOEXEC.BAT file contains the line
MODE LPT1:=COM1:
delete it.
b
Then type
MODE LPT1:,,P
↵
The “P” represents infinite retry and it tells the PC to send
print jobs until the printer accepts them.
c
Restart the PC and retry the communication test.
Refer to your DOS documentation for more information.

To send the PRINTEST.PS file you just created to the
printer, type
copy /b printest.ps com#
↵
where # is the port number (1 to 4).

Note:
If the PC has more than one serial port, they're probably
labeled. If not, check the PC’s documentation for the COM
port names.

from the printer.
If a blank page doesn’t eject and you typed the file correctly, you
may want to check your AUTOEXEC.BAT file in DOS to make
sure that the printer's serial port settings match those of the PC.
a
Look for a command line like this in your AUTOEXEC.BAT
file:
MODE COM1:9600,N,8,1,P
