Common PostScript problems (WorkCentre 3220 only) The following situations are PS language specific and may occur when several printer languages are being used. To receive a printed or screen-displayed message when PostScript errors occur, open the Print Options window and click the desired selection next to the PostScript errors section PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION PostScript file cannot be printed. The PostScript • Install the PostScript driver, driver may not be installed correctly. referring to Software section. • Print a configuration page and verify that the PS version is available for printing. • If the problem persists, contact a service representative. "Limit Check Error" message appears. The print job was too complex. You might need to reduce the complexity of the page or install more memory. A PostScript The print job may error page prints. not be PostScript. Make sure that the print job is a PostScript job. Check to see whether the software application expected a setup or PostScript header file to be sent to the machine. The optional tray is not selected in the driver. The printer driver has not been configured to recognize the optional tray. Open the PostScript driver properties, select the Device Settings tab, and set the Tray option of the Installable Options section to Installed. Common Windows problems CONDITION SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS "File in Use" message appears during installation. Exit all software applications. Remove all software from the StartUp Group, then restart Windows. Reinstall the printer driver. "General Protection Fault", "Exception OE", "Spool32", or "Illegal Operation" messages appear. Close all other applications, reboot Windows and try printing again. "Fail To Print", "A printer timeout error occurred." messages appear. These messages may appear during printing. Just keep waiting until the machine finishes printing. If the message appears in ready mode or after printing has been completed, check the connection and/or whether an error has occurred. Refer to the Microsoft Windows documentation that came with your computer for further information on Windows error messages. Common Linux problems CONDITION SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS The machine does not print. • Check if the printer driver is installed in your system. Open Unified Driver configurator and switch to the Printers tab in Printers configuration window to look at the list of available printers. Make sure that your machine is displayed on the list. If not, invoke Add new printer wizard to set up your device. • Check if the printer is started. Open Printers configuration and select your machine on the printers list. Look at the description in the Selected printer pane. If its status contains "(stopped)" string, press the Start button. After that normal operation of the printer should be restored. The "stopped" status might be activated when some problems in printing occurred. For instance, this could be an attempt to print document when port is claimed by a scanning application. • Check if the port is not busy. Since functional components of MFP (printer and scanner) share the same I/O interface (port), the situation of simultaneous access of different "consumer" application to the same port is possible. To avoid possible conflicts, only one of them at a time is allowed to gain control over the device. The other "consumer" will encounter "device busy" response. You should open ports configuration and select the port assigned to your printer. In the Selected port pane you can see if the port is occupied by some other application. If this is the case, you should wait for completion of the current job or should press Release port button, if you are sure that the present owner is not functioning properly. • Check if your application has special print option such as "-oraw". If "-oraw" is specified in the command line parameter then remove it to print properly. For Gimp front-end, select "print" -> "Setup printer" and edit command line parameter in the command item. • The CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) version distributed with SuSE Linux 9.2 (cups-1.1.21) has a problem with ipp (Internet Printing Protocol) printing.Use the socket printing instead of ipp or install later version of CUPS (cups-1.1.22 or higher). The machine does not print whole pages and its output is half page printed. It is a known problem that occurs when a color printer is used on version 8.51 or earlier of Ghostscript, 64-bit Linux OS, and reported to bugs.ghostscript.com as Ghostscript Bug 688252. The problem is solved in AFPL Ghostscript v. 8.52 or above. Download the latest version of AFPL Ghostscript from http://sourceforge.net/ projects/ghostscript/ and install it to solve this problem.
