problems or questions. |

DOT
MATRIX PRINTERS - Yes, people still
do use dot matrix printers!
POOR
PRINT QUALITY-Check the following: |
|
1) Is the ribbon worn, or an
off brand? - If so replace with a manufacturers
ribbon.
|
|
2) Is the printer "media
thickness" control in the proper position
for the media you are printing on?
|
3)
Is the print quality setting set to draft or
utility? Set it to LQ (letter quality), or NLQ
(near letter quality) for better/darker character
formation. |
| PAPER
FEED PROBLEMS/JAMS-Check the following: |
| 1)
Is the paper path selection/path set to the path
where the paper is installed? |
| 2)
Is the paper that you are using the correct weight
and dimensions per the users manual? |
| 3)
If using continuous feed paper, is the supply
paper path free of obstructions or sharp angles
that will catch on the perforation fold where
the sheets are joined together? |
