Maintenance

• Check 

that 

the 

DOS 

application 

software 

interface 

settings

match 

those 

of 

your 

printer: 

for 

example, 

if 

you 

are 

using 

a

parallel 

printer 

cable, 

you 

would 

probably 

set 

your 

DOS

software 

printer 

port 

to 

LPT1.

• Check 

for 

an 

error 

message 

on 

the 

LCD.

• If 

you 

are 

using 

the 

RS100M 

serial 

interface 

board, 

make 

sure

the 

RS-232C 

serial 

interface 

is 

selected 

with 

the 

slide 

switch.

Make 

sure 

the 

interface 

settings 

are 

correctly 

set 

up 

with 

the

proper 

DIP 

switches. 

Make 

sure 

the 

serial 

parameters 

for

baud 

rates, 

parity 

and 

stop 

bits 

match 

those 

in 

your 

application

software 

and 

the 

MFC.

This 

is 

an 

indication 

that 

your 

application 

printer 

emulation

setting 

and 

the 

MFC’S 

printer 

emulation 

do 

not 

match. 

 

Check

your 

application 

software 

to 

make 

sure 

you 

selected 

the 

correct

printer 

driver. 

 

The 

MFC 

emulates 

HP 

LaserJet 

IIP. 

 

Try 

setting

the 

MFC 

to 

HP 

emulation 

in 

Remote 

Printer 

Console 

and 

then

select 

the 

HP 

LaserJet 

IIP 

printer 

in 

your 

application 

software.

This 

is 

common 

problem 

with 

database 

software 

and 

spreadsheet

software 

when 

they 

are 

not 

correctly 

set 

up. 

The 

data 

has 

been

sent 

to 

the 

printer 

but 

the 

printer 

did 

not 

receive 

the 

Page 

Eject

command. 

Press 

the 

FF/Cont 

Key 

to 

eject 

the 

page. 

Then 

ask

your 

software 

supplier 

how 

to 

add 

Page 

Eject 

(or 

Form 

Feed)

command 

to 

the 

end 

of 

your 

print 

job.

Use 

the 

Remote 

Printer 

Console 

(RPC) 

program.

Question

can 

not 

print 

from 

my

application 

software.

The 

MFC 

prints, 

but 

it

prints 

incorrect

information.

Sometimes 

it 

prints 

a

couple 

of 

characters 

and

then 

ejects 

the 

page, 

etc.

The 

MFC 

prints 

the 

first

part 

of 

my 

document 

but

does 

not 

print 

the 

last

page.

(The 

LCD 

shows

REMAINED DATA.)

How can I change the

User settings or default

settings on the MFC?

Recommendation

Question

I can not print from my

application software.

Recommendation

• Make sure you installed the Macintosh printer driver in the

System Folder and selected it with Chooser.

• Check the PORT selection within the Chooser: it should

match the port to which you physically attached the printer

cable.

• The serial slide switch on the optional interface board should

be in the Apple (RS-422A) position.

• Check the printer cable type: you can not use a LocalTalk

or straight-through cable. See Chapter 15 for details on

different types of printer cables.
