Printer Troubleshooting

Basic Printer Troubleshooting:

• Have you restarted the computer?

• When was the last time the printer worked?

- Has it been moved from another station?

• Are you getting an "output error" and the software restarts?

- Have you checked that there is paper in it?

- Is the paper loading door firmly closed?

• What kind of cable is the printer using?

- Is there a converter cable? (usually serial to USB)

- Have you double checked all the connections and made sure they were snug?

• Can you access the printer and print from Windows?

- Depending on the printer does it show up in device manager?

• Has anyone changed any RTS printer settings?

- Are there other stations with the same hardware to compare settings with?
