Tips
Printer problems may be solved easily by following the tips below. When you have
encountered a problem that following the above guidelines will not solve, try the following:
•
Turn the printer power off and wait for several seconds. Then, turn on the printer.
•
Reboot the computer which sends the print jobs to the printer.
•
Obtain and use the latest version of the printer driver. The latest versions of printer
drivers and utilities
can be downloaded from the internet
.
•
Make sure that the procedures for printing are correctly followed in the application
software. Consult the documentation supplied with the application software.
•
If the printer prints garbage characters or stalls when the computer is turned on,
particularly when the printer is connected to the computer under Windows 98 via the
parallel port, rename device driver file drvwppqt.vxd. This file may be located in
Windows\System\Iosubsys or Arcada\System folder. For technical details, visit
Microsoft web site for the device driver.
