Toshiba 4000 User Guide

Check that the printer is connected to a working electrical outlet 
and is turned on.

Check that the printer has plenty of paper. Some printers won’t 
start printing when there are just two or three sheets of paper left in 
the tray.

Make sure the printer cable is firmly attached to both the computer 
and the printer. 

Make sure the Parallel Port Mode option in Hardware Setup is set 
correctly for your printer. If your printer is ECP-compatible, this 
option should be set to ECP. If your printer is not ECP-compatible, 
this option should be set to Std. Bi-Direct.

If your printer is ECP- or IEEE 1284-compliant, make sure you 
have an IEEE 1284 printer cable.

Run the printer’s self test to check for any problem with the printer 
itself.

Make sure you installed the proper printer drivers.

You may have connected the printer while the computer was 
turned on. Turn off the computer, and turn off the printer. Turn the 
printer back on, make sure it’s ready (on line), then turn the 
computer back on.

Many programs display information on the screen differently from 
the way they print it. See if your program has a print preview 
mode. This mode lets you see your work exactly as it will print. 
Contact the software manufacturer for more information.
