Error "Printer Not Accepting Characters" |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: A customer may receive the message "Printer Not Accepting Characters" in printer control. They are then given the message to check the cable and make sure the printer was on. If LPT1 is the selected port, try changing the port under Shft-F7 to "Other" and type in LPT1. This would happen in 5.0 also. It could still be their cable or port. If they can borrow a cable and/or port, have them try that. If they have a switch box, it could be that too. The difference between printing to a Port as opposed to a Device is the pins in the cable that WP looks at. When WP prints to a Device, WP does not look at the the pins, whereas when WP prints to a Port, it looks at all the pins. |
