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 RIP shows an error message when you try to print, such as error 61:09 or 63:05. See

Your RIP stalls when transferring data.
To solve a communication problem:
Make sure that you have selected the correct printer in your RIP.
Remember that large images usually require more time to receive, process, and print.
If the printer is connected to your RIP through any other intermediate devices, such as switch boxes, buffer
boxes, cable adapters, or cable converters, remove the intermediate device and try connecting the printer
directly to your computer.
Try another interface cable.
Try changing the I/O timeout, which specifies the time that an idle connection is allowed to remain open
when the printer is waiting for a remote computer. The default value is 270 seconds. To change the I/O
timeout, go to the Embedded Web Server and select the
Networking
tab, then the
Advanced
tab.
