Installing the Printer
1.5 Connecting the Printer to a Computer System
If you have difficulties printing your files correctly, you may need to change the
printer’s configuration. Some suggestions follow.
1.
Check that the printer features match the host computer configuration,
in particular, the communication mode. If the printer is connected to
the serial port, check the printer’s baud rate, data bits and parity. See
Section 4.4 for information on these features. Also check your computer
system’s documentation.
2.
If you have to change the printer’s configuration to match that of the host
computer, see Chapter 4.
3.
If your printer still does not print your files correctly, see Section 5.2.
4.
If you are not sure of how to correct the problem, contact your Digital sales
representative.
NOTE: You can check whether the file is actually received by the printer by
checking the indicator lights. When the file is being received through the serial
port, the Serial indicator is on and steady, and the Data indicator is on or
blinking. When the file is being received through the parallel port, the Parallel
indicator is on and the Data indicator is on or blinking.
