Printer

Test the printer by connecting it to the computer before testing it on the IBM ThinkPad Dock I.

If the printer self-test runs correctly, connect a wrap plug on the parallel connector on the rear of IBM ThinkPad Dock I and run the advanced diagnostic tests to determine the failing FRU.

If the advanced diagnostic tests (with the wrap plug connected) did not detect a failure, replace the printer cable.

If the problem is not corrected, do one of the following:

Note: If the replaced parts did not resolve the problem, put the original parts back in the IBM ThinkPad Dock I. Do not replace non-defective parts.
