Problem

Solutions: This information is in regard to the Okidata ML 320 and 321 printers. It is important to know that each of these printers have 2 different models. One is the Okidata ML 320 or 321 Microline model, and for this the customer needs to use the regular printer driver. The second model has the capability to change from IBM to Epson mode. These are two different printers with three different modes, and thus the need for three different drivers in WordPerfect. The second model can be in either Epson FXE or IBM PPR mode. Epson mode is the factory default setting, but many customer's printers are in IBM mode. The following information is how to find out what mode the printer is in: 1. Press "Mode". The "Select" light will go out, and the "Menu" light will come on. 2. Press the "TOF" button. This will print the Menu. It will print a line called "General Control Emulation Mode" and across from that it will either say Epson FXE or IBM PPR. If it says Epson FXE they need to use the driver that has "Epson" after the printer name. If it says IBM PPR they need to use the driver that has "IBM" after the printer name. 3. They must then exit the menu by pressing the "Mode" button again. *This information is given strictly as a troubleshooting option.
