Problems and Solutions
The most common problems which may occur when using Perfect Print are
listed here, together with possible solutions.
The Printer falls to respond.
Check to see if the printer is connected correctly. It may be parallel or serial
connected (but not both). Make sure the printer is plugged in, turned on and
on line.
You may be using the wrong connection me or a printer driver with
the wrong kind of connection.
If you're using a Seikosha printer make sure
that
you use an "S7" LQConnect file or printer driver. It is also possible
that the cable
is defective. Tum the printer off, then on and try again.
The printer prints garbage.
Its possible that the serial connection is using the wrong secondary address.
Try using a different "LQConnect" me or a printer driver with another
"s"
number. Read through the appropriate sections again and consult your
interface manual.
Make sure you're using the correct printer adaptation or
printer driver.
You may also have a defective printer cable.
You may be using a 9 pin printer which is behaving as a.7 pin printer.
Switch the printer
to the "ASCn mode" using the DIP switches (see Section
2, topic "Printer Adjustments"). Some printers just won't work with the
Print System.
If you use a Panasonic KXP series 24 pin printer, it might be set to mM
mode. So try the "LQA mM 24" adaptation me.
The printer might also print garbage
if a printout is stopped with "Q", and
an attempt is made
to print again without frrst clearing the buffer (shut the
printer off, then on). Stop the printing process using RUN-STOP
to avoid
this problem.
The printout Is horizontally ragged or disarranged.
More than likely your printer can not handle the print optimizing function.
This occms mainly
when the elite mode has been switched on using the DIP
switches. Switch this off and
try again. You may also try turning off the
print optimizing function by using the parameter file entitled "LQP
Nooptimize" .
