Printing from DOS 

BR-Script 3

Caution

If you do not follow the instructions for using the printer, you may be responsible for all repairs.

Problem

Recommendation

The printer cannot print at all. 
Your PC shows the following 
error message:
'There was an error writing to 
LPT1: (or BRUSB) for the 
printer.'

■

Check that the printer cable is not damaged or broken. 

■

If you have an interface-switching device, make sure that you choose the 
correct printer.   

Problem

Recommendation

Cannot print from application 
software

■

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 most likely set your DOS software printer port to LPT1.

■

Check if the printer has any printer alarms.

■

Check that you have chosen the appropriate printer in your application 
software.
