Correcting Communication Errors

These messages only appear while the serial interface is selected. When
a communication error occurs, printing stops and some or all print data is
lost. After you perform the corrective action(s), you must restart the
print job from the beginning.
FRAMING ERROR
This message appears when either the baud rate of the printer and your
computer are not the same, or the number of data bits are not the same.
Corrective action: Change the BAUD and DAT BITS settings on the
Setup menu to match your computer's baud rate and number of data bits.
Then, press the Ready button to re-enable printing and restart the print
job from the beginning.
PARITY ERROR
This message appears when the printer, using the selected parity method,
detects a data transmission error affecting one or more data bytes.
Corrective action: Change the PARITY setting on the Setup menu to
match your computer's parity method, press the Ready button to re-
enable printing, and then restart the print job from the beginning. If the
PARITY setting is correct, press the Clear button to clear the data input
buffer and the Ready button to re-enable printing; then restart the print
job from the beginning. If the error recurs, reset your computer and the
printer to use no parity checking and try again.
