cables are connected securely.
- In the case of a serial connection, make sure you are using a Null Modem cable
.
- In the case of a parallel connection, make sure you are using an IEEE certifie
d parallel cable.
- Is the port you are connecting to correct? (COMx for a serial printer, LPTx fo
r a parallel printer). To check/change the port, right click on the printer and
select Properties from the pop-up menu. Click on the Ports tab. In most cases, y
ou should have COM1 selected for a serial printer, or LPT1 selected for a parall
el printer. If the wrong port is selected, just select the correct port and clic

ectly in the printer properties? To see the driver settings, right click on the
printer and select Properties from the pop-up menu. Click on the Ports tab and t
hen click on the [Configure Port] button. Check the printer manual for the commu

he driver.
- If none of the above resolve the problem, check the printer manual, or contact
Epson for additional assistance in connecting your printer correctly. Do not co
ntact Corporate Consultants at this stage as this is not a problem with the prog
ram.
