If you still experience problems with the printing of text or pictures, find the symptom in the following table that most closely matches your problem, then perform the possible solution(s). For each listed symptom, more than one solution is usually possible. The first solution given is the most probable corrective action for the symptom. However, if that solution does not solve the problem, perform the other solutions in the order they appear until the problem is solved.
