Mine always worked fine. You do have to set the dip switches to provide a line feed with the carriage return signal, but I don't have the info on which switch that would be in front of me. Of course you could connect it to a different computer to see what it does, after getting the error light to go away. I would suspect it's a dip switch issue.
