Look at the display to see if the port status is in the Connected state. If the port is in the
Connected state, there is an active session on the port.
4 Verify if Signal Check is working properly.
Unplug the cable from the printer and enter the following command on your access server.
Substitute the number of the port for 1:
LOCAL> MONITOR PORT 1 STATUS
The DTR/DSR or DTR/DCD signals should toggle. However, if the printer does not support
DSR OR DCD signals, set Signal Check to disabled. Enter the following command:
Local> CHANGE PORT 1 SIGNAL CHECK DISABLED
When Signal Check is enabled for a printer, the printer waits for the DSR or DCD signal
before printing. If Signal Check is enabled and the printer is turned off before a connection is
established, the print queue will go into a stalled state. The access server then logs out the port.
Signal Check should only be enabled if DSRlogout is disabled. Note that you cannot use DSR
flow control with Signal Check. For more information on the Signal Check characteristic,
refer to the Network Access Software Management Guide.
