The problem is something else The problem is the printer does not print Here are some possible explanations. See also "The problem is a print job is waiting for a time-out" on page 157. ● You may have an electrical power problem. If there is no activity at all from the printer, and the front panel does not respond, check that the power cable is connected correctly and that there is power available at the socket. ● In the presence of unusual electromagnetic phenomena, such as strong electromagnetic fields or severe electrical disturbances, the printer may behave strangely, or even stop working. In this case, turn off the printer using the Power key on the front panel, wait until the electromagnetic environment has returned to normal, and then turn it on again. If you still experience problems, please contact your customer service representative. ● Ensure that the graphic language setting is correct. See "How do I change the graphic language setting?" on page 75. ● Have you installed in your computer the correct driver for your printer? See the Setup instructions. ● If you are using Mac OS with a FireWire or USB connection, you may find that you need to change the data encoding. Select the icon, then Printing defaults menu > PS options > Encoding > ASCII. Then configure your application to send ASCII data. The problem is a print job is waiting for a time-out If all is in order (paper loaded, all ink components installed, and no file errors), there are still reasons why a file you have sent from your computer may not start printing when expected: ● The print file may lack a proper file terminator and the printer is therefore waiting for the specified I/O time-out period before assuming it is complete. If you are using Mac OS with a FireWire or USB connection, select the icon, then Printing defaults menu > PS options > Encoding > ASCII. Then configure your application to send ASCII data. ● Nesting may be on and the printer is waiting for the specified nest wait time-out period before calculating the appropriate nests. In this case, the printer display shows the remaining time for the nesting time-out. ● You may have requested a print preview from your printer driver. This is a function you can use to check that the image is the one you want. In this case, the preview is displayed in a Web browser window, and you must click a button to start printing. The problem is the printer seems slow Here are some possible explanations. ● Did you set the print quality to Best? Best-quality prints take longer. ● Did you specify the correct paper type when loading the paper? To find out the printer's current paper type setting, see "How do I view information about the paper?" on page 33. 157
