4 Troubleshooting
This chapter provides some hints for troubleshooting error messages that the printer sends to the host and problems you may experience with the printer. Troubleshooting Checklist You may have printer operation, print quality, or printer communications problems at some time during the life of your printer. It is easy to fix most of the errors and consequently not delay operation of the printer for very long. To troubleshoot your printer 1.
Printer Operation Problems If your printer is not operating correctly, try locating the problem in the table below. Symptom Possible Causes Solution No power or loss of power. You have damaged or disconnected the power cable. Make sure you have plugged the power cable into both the printer and a power source. Replace the cable if damaged. The Power light flashes red and printing stops. Printhead has overheated. Let the printer cool down. It will resume printing on its own.
Print Quality Problems If your labels are not being printed properly, check the following table to locate the symptom and correct the problem. Symptom Possible Causes Solution Blotches printing on labels. Dirty printhead. Clean the printhead. For help, see “Cleaning the Printhead” in Chapter 3. Printing is too light or too dark. Poor quality label or ribbon stock. Use only Intermec label and ribbon stock to ensure superior print quality and product performance. Incorrect media sensitivity setting.
Communication Problems If your printer is not receiving downloaded data, try the solutions in this table. Symptom Possible Causes Solution Printer does not communicate with the host. Incorrect communications parameters. Use PrintSet to make sure that you have the correct communications parameters set (such as baud rate). Damaged or incorrect I/O cable. Check the connections at both ends or replace the cable. See Appendix B for cable information.
4. Hold the Feed/Pause button down to momentarily suspend the test. The printer prints a software configuration test label. 5. If you press the Feed/Pause button again, the pitch label prints. To exit Data Line Print mode 1. Turn the printer power off. 2. Turn the printer power back on. Preventing Data Loss Several problems can cause data loss or communications problems on the printer. Data loss can result in printing errors or missing field data. Hardware handshaking involves the use of a hardware wire.
Your printer uses XON/XOFF protocol for software handshaking. When the input buffer is full, the printer transmits an XOFF character. This action alerts the host to the fact that the printer buffer is full and cannot receive any more data. When the printer is ready to receive more data, it sends the XON character. To check for communications problems 1. Check the cabling from the printer to the host system. 2. Check the interfacing of the devices that are communicating with the printer. 3.

B Communications Reference
About Communications The 7421 printer supports both serial and parallel communications. Using the parallel interface with an IEEE 1284 parallel interface cable (Part No. 590124) provides the best performance. Your printer has the following hardware and software requirements: • The host computer must use the American Standard Code for Information Exchange (ASCII) for data communications. • A serial port or a parallel port must be available on the host if you are connecting directly to the printer.
The printer returns its highest priority status when it receives a valid block ( data ) or when it receives the status request command . When the printer receives the status dump command (), the printer returns all active status. The printer status response time ranges from 30 ms to 100 ms depending on the complexity of the received message block. In the case of a transmission error, the printer responds with a and discards the entire message block.
XON/XOFF Protocol XON/XOFF protocol uses the ASCII characters (XON) and (XOFF) to start and stop the flow of data from the host to the printer. The printer does not restrict the message length for XON/XOFF protocol. That is, the printer processes information as it is being downloaded and stops when there is no more information. and are optional characters. However, if you send an STX, the printer ignores all other characters until you send an ETX.
Hardware Protocol The printer uses Ready/Busy and DTR (data terminal ready) of the RS-232C interface to indicate the printer’s status. You can configure Ready/Busy and DTR independent of each other and independent of the software protocol you select for the serial port. You can set each pin to one of these four settings: default, high, flow control, and Ready/Busy. When you set the pin to high, it stays high as long as the printer is powered up.
Note: Please use caution when replacing control characters with printable characters. You cannot replace one control character with more than one printable character.
Communications Boundaries The information below applies to all protocols that the printer supports. Parameter Maximum Capacity Message delay 9999 milliseconds Character delay 9999 milliseconds Message block size 255 characters (including STX and ETX characters) Unlimited block size for XON/XOFF RS-232 Serial Interface The printer supports serial communications with the RS-232 interface.
Pin Name Operation 3 Receive Data Input: Connect to transmit data pin of connected device. 2 Transmit Data Output: Connect to receive data pin of connected device. 6 Data Terminal Ready (DTR) Output: When you use a modem, connect to modem DTR pin. When using Intermec Standard Protocol, this pin indicates that the printer is switched on. When using XON/XOFF or hardware flow control, this pin indicates the printer mechanical status and the status of the printer input buffer.
