If the machine has been printing continuously for a long time, the Print Head may overheat. To protect the Print Head, the machine may stop printing at a line break for a period of time and then resume printing. In this case, interrupt your print session at a convenient time and turn the machine off for at least 15 minutes. Additionally, if the machine has been printing graphics or photos with intense colors continuously over a period of time, the machine may stop printing to protect the Print Head. In this case, printing will not resume automatically. Turn the machine off for at least 15 minutes. Caution The Print Head and the surrounding area can become extremely hot inside the machine. Never touch the Print Head or nearby components. Check 2: Is the paper loaded? Make sure that paper is loaded in the Rear Tray. If the machine has run out of paper, load paper. Check 3: Do the printing documents have lots of photographs or illustrations? Printing large data such as photos or graphics takes time for the machine and the computer to process, during which the machine may appear to have stopped operating. In addition, when printing data that uses a large amount of ink continuously on plain paper, the machine may pause temporarily. In either case, wait until the process is complete. Note If you are printing a document with a large printing area or printing multiple copies of a document, printing may pause to allow the ink to dry. Page top
