Troubleshooting Printing difficulties (continued) Difficulties Suggestions The machine prints the first couple of pages correctly, then some pages have text missing. Check the settings in your application to make sure that it is set up to work with your machine. Your computer is not recognizing the machine's input buffer's full signal. Make sure that you connected the interface cable correctly. See Quick Setup Guide. The machine does not print on both sides of the paper even though the printer driver is set for Duplex. Check the paper size setting in the printer driver. You need to choose Letter, Legal or Folio paper that is 16 to 28 lb (60 to 105 g/m2). The machine does not change to Direct Print mode when a USB flash memory drive is connected to the USB direct interface. When the machine is in Deep Sleep mode, the machine does not wake up even if you connect a USB flash memory drive to the USB direct interface. Press Stop/Exit to wake up the machine. Cannot perform 'Page Layout' printing. Check that the paper size setting in the application and in the printer driver are the same. Print speed is too slow. Try changing the printer driver setting. The highest resolution needs longer data processing, sending and printing time. Check that the back cover is firmly closed and the duplex tray is firmly installed. Add optional memory. See Advanced User's Guide: Installing extra memory. The machine does not print from Adobe® Illustrator®. Try to reduce the print resolution. See Software User's Guide: Printing (for Windows®).
