9 Are you using a printer selection switch or a printer buffer?
With bi-directional interfaces, operation is sometimes unreliable when
using printer switching boxes or printer buffers. If you are using a
printer selection switching box or printer buffer, use one-way
communication.
10 Is your cable too long?
Do not use a cable that is longer than you need. The signals become
more unstable as the cable gets longer.
11 Are you using the wrong ink cartridges?
Use only the recommended ink cartridges. Do not use ink cartridges
from other manufacturers.
12 Are the ink cartridges correctly installed?
Insert ink cartridges in the carriage with the identification markings
(B side) face up. This applies to all ink cartridges except the reversible
types : Econo Black and Finish II.
13 Is the ribbon on an ink cartridges used up?
When the ribbon in an ink cartridge has been used up, black and silver
stripes will be visible on the ribbon. When these appear install a new
ink cartridge. After replacing the ink cartridge, printing will continue
from where it left off.
14 Do you have enough hard disk space?
The DP-5000 requires work space on the hard disk when it prints. Keep
enough space open on the disk for the printer to operate (after printing,
the work space is released.)
15 Does the hard disk have areas where reading or writing are
unreliable?
If there are areas on the hard disk where reading or writing are
unreliable, sometimes a printing error will occur and printing will stop.
Periodically use a utility like SCANDISK that comes with MS-DOS
6.0 (or later) or Windows 95/98 to prevent these problems.
