 * width="100%"|
 * Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 3.0, 3.01, 3.02, 4.0, 5.0, 5.1, 6.0, 6.0.1, 6.0.1a

SYMPTOMS
When printing to the Apple ImageWriter LQ printer, the following error message will occasionally appear at the end of the print job:

The selected device is not responding as an LQ ImageWriter. Please check port selection, cabling, and device type.

CAUSE
This message is caused by a timing problem between the Macintosh and the printer and can be ignored because the error occurs after the document is printed.

MORE INFORMATION
This problem will occur more frequently with the printer connected to the printer port than when it is connected through the modem port.
