Troubleshooting
Problem
Resolution
Failure of data transmission
1. Make sure the RJ-11 4-wire telephone cable is firmly connected to the IC164T
and IC164R.
2. Make sure the printer is powered on and ready to use.
3. The IC164 only extends data transmission from PC to printer. Make sure the
interface of PC and printer are compatible, and use appropriate adapters for
interface conversion if required.
4. The IC164 devices may not have sufficient power supply. Plug a power adapter
of 9V DC, 50mA (min) with positive polarity to the power jack on
the IC164R.
Note: The power adapter is not provided in the package.
5. The problem may be caused by an improper printer reset. Please reset the
IC164R by re-plugging the IC164R from the printer and RJ-11 4-wire telephone
cable from the IC164R.
