Quick Start

Compatibility Modes

The printer’s parallel port supports ECP mode and IEEE 1284

bi-directional mode. If your computer’s parallel port is not

compatible with one of these modes, the printer may not print

at all or it may print corrupted data.

To correct for this:

1 Enter the printer’s Maintenance menu and change the ECP

setting to Disable (see Changing the ECP Setting under

Printer Menus in the Printer Control section of the

User’s Guide).

2 If there is still a problem, enter the printer’s Level-2 menu

and change the Bi-Direction setting to Disable (see

Changing Parallel Interface Menu Settings under

Printer Menus in the Printer Control section of the

User’s Guide).
