Setting Up the Printer for DOS
Question
Recommendation
I cannot print from my application
software.
•
Check if the DOS application software
interface settings match that of your printer:
for example, if you are using a parallel printer
cable, you would most likely set your DOS
software printer port to LPT1.
•
Check to see if the printer has any printer
alarms active.
•
If the serial interface is used, make sure that the
RS-232C serial interface is selected with the
slide switch. Make sure that the interface
settings are correctly set up with the proper
DIP switches. Make sure the serial parameters
of baud rates, parity and stop bits match
between your application software and the
printer.
The printer prints, but it prints
incorrect information. Sometimes it
prints a couple of characters and
then ejects the page.
This is an indication that your application printer
emulation setting and the printer’s emulation do
not match. Check in your application software to
see which printer you have selected and to make
sure that the printer is set up correctly. Remember
this printer emulates three widely used printer
selections : HP LaserJet 5P, Epson FX-850, and
IBM Proprinter XL. Try setting the printer into HP
emualtion and then select the HP LaserJet 5P/5L
printer in your application software.
The printer does not print when I
press the Print Screen Key.
(Data lamp On)
Press the panel switch. The data has been sent to
the printer but the printer did not receive the Page
Eject command: print screens do not send this
command.
The printer prints the first part of
my document but does not print the
last page.
(Data lamp On)
This was a common problem with database
software and spreadsheet software when not
correctly set up. The data has been sent to the
printer but the printer did not receive the Page
Eject command. Press the panel switch to eject the
page. Then check with your software supplier on
how to add a Page Eject (or Form Feed) command
to the end of your print job.
How can I change the User settings
or default settings of the printer?
Use the remote printer console (RPC) program.
