soupie Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Walter what model of printer is it? HL14$$ ?? You can check if the problem is with the printer or the clock/printer setup by disconnecting the clock and getting the printer to print a test page. soupie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soupie Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Disconnect from clock, turn off and follow these instructions to get the printer to print a test page, this will tell you if the problem is with the actual printer or the printer/clock setup. 1 Turn off the printer.2 Make sure that the front cover is closed and the power cord is plugged in.3 Hold down the Control panel button as you turn on the power switch. All the LEDs light up and thengo off again. Keep the Control panel button pressed down until the Drum LED comes on. Whenthe Drum LED comes on, release the Control panel button.4 Press the Control panel button again. The printer will print a test page. user manual for this printer http://www.manualslib.com/manual/21957/Brother-Hl-1430.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
