● If your printer is connected by network, check that all components used in the network (network interface cards, hubs, routers, switches, cables) are capable of high-speed operation. Is there a lot of traffic from other devices on the network? ● Did you specify Extended drying time in the front panel? Try changing the drying time to Optimal. Communication failures between computer and printer Some symptoms are: ● The front-panel display does not show the Receiving message when you have sent an image to the printer. ● Your computer displays an error message when you are trying to print. ● Your computer or printer hangs (stays idle), while communication is taking place. ● Your printed output shows random or inexplicable errors (misplaced lines, partial graphics etc.) To solve a communication problem: ● Ensure that you have selected the correct printer in your application, see Printing on page 50. ● Ensure that the printer works correctly when printing from other applications. ● Remember that very large prints may take some time to receive, process and print. ● If your printer is connected to your computer through any other intermediate devices, such as switch boxes, buffer boxes, cable adapters, cable converters, etc., try using it when connected directly to your computer. ● Try another interface cable. ● Ensure that the graphic language setting is correct, see Change the graphic language setting on page 31. ● If the printer is connected by network, check that your printer has a static IP address. If it is using DHCP, the IP address may change every time it is turned on, in which case the driver may not be able to find it.
