Troubleshooting
The printer stops printing
l
The printer may be out of paper. Check the paper supply.
l
The paper may be jammed. See the section on the self test in
Chapter 1.
l
The ribbon may be jammed. See the section on the self test in
Chapter 1.
l
If the 
READY light is off and the ON LINE light is flickering, the
LQ has stopped to allow the print head to cool. Printing
resumes soon; you do not have to do anything to re-start it.
l
If the printer stops, the beeper sounds, and the 
ON LINE light
does not flicker, turn the printer off and then turn it back on
and try to print again. If the printer beeps again and does not
print, take it to a qualified service person.
Single sheets do not feed properly
The position of the paper 
release lever may be wrong. 
Push it
back to the single sheet position.
You may have tried to load the paper with the 
LOAD/EJECT
button while the printer was 
ON LINE. Be sure that the printer is
off line when you use the 
LOAD/EJECT button.
The paper may be too large or too small. See the paper
specifications in Chapter 8.
The paper guide may not be installed properly. See the section
on installing the paper guide in Chapter 2.
The cut sheet feeder mode may be selected by the DIP switch.
See the section on setting DIP switches in Chapter 3.
