Operational Problems

The Ready light (green) does not turn on when you turn the printer on

Cause

What to do

The printer may not be connected to the electrical outlet.

Turn off the printer and check the power cable connections between the printer and the electrical outlet; then turn the printer back on.

If the electrical outlet is controlled by an outside source such as a wall switch, make sure the switch is turned on or plug another electrical device into the outlet to check whether the outlet is operating properly.

The Ready light (green) is on but nothing prints
Cause	What to do
Your computer may not be properly connected to the printer.	Perform the procedure described in "Connecting the Printer to a Computer" in the Setup Sheet.
The interface cable may not be plugged in securely.	Check both ends of the cable between the printer and the computer. Be sure to secure the connector using the wire retaining clips.
You may not be using the correct interface cable.	If you are using the parallel interface, make sure you use a double-shielded, twisted-pair interface cable no longer than six feet in length.
