AXIS AX-3 Cobra+ Technical Reference 73
Incorrect Page
Breaks (4214
Emulation Only)
If the form length is correctly set on the host, the most likely cause is that an incorrect
Printer Driver has been selected (e.g. Epson FX/EX/DFX instead of Epson LQ)
If the attached printer can emulate IBM Proprinter or Epson FX type printers, it is
recommended that either one of these emulations is used.

Problems
If the protocol converter has been connected to a host system with the Axis T-cable and
a printout has been unsuccessfully sent to the unit, please see the following steps for
problem determination.
Q: Is the SYSTEM indicator lit?
A: The printer may be not properly connected. Please refer to the User’s manual.
Q: Is the device address correct?
A: Make sure the rotary switch is set to the desired device address. Switch the protocol
converter off and then on again. Permissible values for the device address are within
the range 0 to 6.
Q: Does the host configuration match the protocol converter configuration?
A: The protocol converter must be configured according to the IBM printer that has
been defined for the device address on the twinax port.
Q: Has the print job been released from the host?
A: Check that Vary ON has been made and that the print job has been released from
the print queue. Ask your system manager.
Q: Is the twinax line terminated?
A: The last unit on the twinax line must be terminated. Check that all units along the
twinax line are installed correctly and that the termination is correct.
Q: Are any cables broken?
A: Check that the cables are properly connected and fully functional.
