Okidata ML 320 Prints Garbage |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer is using the Courier 10cpi font on the Okidata ML 320 printer, and whenever he tries to print, the printer just prints out garbage. When the customer selects the Okidata 320 printer in WordPerfect and sets his printer in Epson mode, the printer will print fine for the first job, and then it will print garbage for the next job and so on. The same thing happens with Standard printer. Solutions: The user is using the wrong printer emulation on his Okidata ML 320. The printer needs to be set on the Epson LQ emulation which is the default. This is done in a menu select through the font panel. The Okidata ML 320 driver is for the Microline Standard printer model and the Okidata ML 320 (Epson) is for the Epson/IBM printer model with the Epson emulation active. To check if this printer is standard or switchable: 1. Turn the printer on while holding the line feed button (LF). Turn the printer off after the first line prints. 2. If it reads "ML320 or 321 EI" in the first line, it is the switchable printer. If it reads "ML320 or 321 OKI" it is the standard model. To put the switchable model of this printer in Epson Mode: 1. Press MODE. 2. Press GROUP 2 times. It will then print "General control emulation mode IBM PPR/Epson FXE." If it prints "Epson FXE" go to the next step. If it prints "IBM PPR", press Set and it will then print Epson FXE. and then you can go to the next step. 3. Press MODE to return to normal printing. |
