Condition Possible cause Suggested solutions The machine does not print. (continued) The connection cable between the computer and the machine is defective. If possible, attach the cable to another computer that is working properly and print a job. You can also try using a different printer cable. The port setting is incorrect. Check the Windows printer setting to make sure that the print job is sent to the correct port. If the computer has more than one port, make sure that the machine is attached to the correct one. The machine may be configured incorrectly. Check the printer properties to ensure that all of the print settings are correct. The printer driver may be incorrectly installed. Repair the printer software. See Software section. The machine is malfunctioning. Check the display message on the control panel to see if the machine is indicating a system error. Contact a service representative. The document size is so big that the hard disk space of the computer is not enough to access the print job. Get more hard disk space and print the document again. The machine selects print materials from the wrong paper source. A print job is extremely slow. The paper option that was selected in the printer properties may be incorrect. The job may be very complex. For many software applications, the paper source selection is found under the Paper tab within the printer properties. Select the correct paper source. See the printer driver help screen. Reduce the complexity of the page or try adjusting the print quality settings. Condition Possible cause Suggested solutions Half the page is blank. The page orientation setting may be incorrect. Change the page orientation in your application. See the printer driver help screen. The paper size and the paper size settings do not match. Ensure that the paper size in the printer driver settings matches the paper in the tray. Or, ensure that the paper size in the printer driver settings matches the paper selection in the software application settings you use. The machine prints, but the text is wrong, garbled, or incomplete. The printer cable is loose or defective. Disconnect the printer cable and reconnect. Try a print job that you have already printed successfully. If possible, attach the cable and the machine to another computer and try a print job that you know works. Finally, try a new printer cable. The wrong printer driver was selected. Check the application's printer selection menu to ensure that your machine is selected. The software application is malfunctioning. Try printing a job from another application. The operating system is malfunctioning. Exit Windows and reboot the computer. Turn the machine off and then back on again. Pages print, but they are blank. The toner cartridge is defective or out of toner. Redistribute the toner, if necessary. If necessary, replace the toner cartridge. The file may have blank pages. Check the file to ensure that it does not contain blank pages. Some parts, such as the controller or the board, may be defective. Contact a service representative. 12.16

Troubleshooting>

The

machine

does not

print.

(continued)

The connection cable

between the

computer and the

machine is defective.

If possible, attach the cable

to another computer that is

working properly and print a

job. You can also try using a

different printer cable.

The port setting is

incorrect.

Check the Windows printer

setting to make sure that the

print job is sent to the correct

port. If the computer has

more than one port, make

sure that the machine is

attached to the correct one.

The machine may be

configured

incorrectly.

Check the printer properties

to ensure that all of the print

settings are correct.

The printer driver

may be incorrectly

installed.

Repair the printer software.

See Software section.

The machine is

malfunctioning.

Check the display message

on the control panel to see if

the machine is indicating a

system error. Contact a

service representative.

The document size is

so big that the hard

disk space of the

computer is not

enough to access the

print job.

Get more hard disk space

and print the document

again.

The

machine

selects print

materials

from the

wrong

paper

source.

The paper option that

was selected in the

printer properties

may be incorrect.

For many software

applications, the paper

source selection is found

under the

Paper

tab within

the printer properties. Select

the correct paper source.

See the printer driver help

screen.

A print job

is extremely

slow.

The job may be very

complex.

Reduce the complexity of the

page or try adjusting the print

quality settings.
