Resetting Printers
Sometimes the printer receives mixed signals and loses its ability to communicate. If this
happens, reset the printer and attempt communication again. To reset the printer, turn off the
printer, wait 15 seconds, and turn it back on.
When you turn off the printer, all the information set through the online configuration packets
(A-F) is saved. See the sections in Chapter 2, “Configuring the Printer,” for more information
about each packet.
If You Receive an Error Message
Any time you receive a message that is not described in this manual, or the recommended
action does not solve the problem, call Technical Support. Some errors are the result of
communication problems. In this case, reset your printer and reboot your computer. If you
change any of the online configuration packets, resend the format packet to the printer, so the
configuration changes take effect.
If the PC and Printer Are Not Communicating
If your PC is having trouble communicating with your printer, follow these steps:
¨ Check any messages that occur at the printer and at the computer. See the following error
message listing in this chapter for more information.
¨ Make sure you are using the correct printer cable.
¨ Make sure the cable is plugged into the correct port on the computer.
¨ Compare your printer’s communications settings (especially flow control) with the settings on
your PC. Your printer and PC communications should match. Print a test label to identify
the printer’s communication settings.
¨ Make sure the printer is online (ready to receive data).
If all of the above are correct, reset your printer. Try the function again. If you still can not
establish communications, call Technical Support.
