S o l v i n g P r o b l e m s 42 U s e r ‘ s G u i d e 3. System printouts: Is the SYSTEM indicator on? No: The Intermate L X T-04 is not correctly connected to the sy stem , or the power-up routine has been disturbed. Restart the interface (power-off/power-on).
S o l v i n g P r o b l e m s I n t e r m a t e L X T - 0 4 43 Corrupted Pri ntouts This is generally caused by selecting a Printer Driver not m atching y our printer. The control com ma nds are then misinterpreted by the printer, causing corrupted printouts.
S o l v i n g P r o b l e m s 44 U s e r ‘ s G u i d e 4. Has the print job been released from the host? Check that Vary On has been m ade and that the print job has been released from the print queue. Ask y our Sy stem Manage r. 5. Is the twinax line terminated? The last unit on the twinax line must be term inated.
S o l v i n g P r o b l e m s I n t e r m a t e L X T - 0 4 45 1. Make sure that y our printer is on-line. 2. Set the address switch to '9', and wait for approx. 3 seconds until the SYSTEM indicator starts to flash. You are now in the Test Mode.
S o l v i n g P r o b l e m s 46 U s e r ‘ s G u i d e 3. Select position '4' for system hexdum p, or position '3' for ASCII hexdum p. 4. Repeat your print job. The data is now printed in hexadecim al form . 5. Set the address switch to '9' when the printout is completed.
S o l v i n g P r o b l e m s I n t e r m a t e L X T - 0 4 47 BE-BAR CODE ERROR Incorrect or insuff icient bar code definition. The bar code must be specified with five values. See Section 4 .
