You may have connected the printer while the computer is
on. Disable Standby mode, turn off the computer, and turn
off the printer. Turn the printer back on, make sure it is on
line, then turn the computer back on.
Try printing another file. For example, you could create and
attempt to print a short test file using Notepad. If a Notepad
file prints correctly, the problem may be in your original file.
The printer will not print what you see on the screen.
Many programs display information on the screen differently
from the way they print it. See if your program has a print
preview mode. This mode lets you see your work exactly as
it will print. Contact the software manufacturer for more
information.
Modem problems
This section lists common modem problems.
The modem will not receive or transmit properly.
Make sure the telephone cable (the one that goes from the
modem to the telephone line) is firmly connected to the
modem port and the telephone line jack.
Check the serial port settings to make sure the hardware
and software are referring to the same COM port (look in
Device Manager under Modems for the built-in modem).
Check the communications parameters (baud rate, parity,
data length and stop bits) specified in the communications
program. It should be set up to transmit at 300, 1200, 2400,
4800, 9600, 14400, 28800, 33600 bps (bits per second) or
higher. Refer to the program’s documentation and the
modem manual for information on how to change these
settings.
