Problem The machine does not scan. I cannot scan via Gimp Front-end. I encounter error "Cannot open port device file" when printing a document. Possible Cause and Solution • Check if a document is loaded into the machine. • Check if your machine is connected to the computer. Make sure it is connected properly if an I/O error is reported while scanning. • 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 for different "consumer" applications to the same port is possible. To avoid possible conflicts, only one of them is allowed to gain control over the device at a time. The other "consumer" will encounter "device busy" response. This usually happens while starting the scan procedure, and an appropriate message box will be displayed. To identify the source of the problem, you should open ports configuration and select the port assigned to your scanner. port's symbol / dev/mfp0 corresponds to LP:0 designation displayed in the scanners' options, /dev/mfp1 relates to LP:1 and so on. USB ports start at / dev/mfp4, so scanner on USB:0 relates to / dev/mfp4 respectively and so forth sequentially. 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 you should press the Release port button, if you are sure that the port owner is not functioning properly. • Check if Gimp Front-end has "Xsane: Device dialog." on the "Acquire" menu. If not, you should install the Xsane plug-in for Gimp on your computer. You can find Xsane plug-in package for Gimp on Linux distribution CDs or on the Gimp home page. For detailed information, refer to Help for Linux distribution CD or Gimp Front-end application. If you wish to use an other kinds of scan applications, refer to the Help for application. Please avoid changing print job parameters (via LPR GUI, for example) while a print job is in progress. Known versions of CUPS server cut off the print jobs whenever print options are changed and then try to restart the job from the beginning. Since Unified Linux Driver locks port while printing, the abrupt termination of the driver keeps the port locked and therefore unavailable for subsequent print jobs. If this situation occurred, try to release the port. Problem Some color images come out all black. Some color images come out in unexpected color. The machine does not print whole pages and its output is half page printed. Possible Cause and Solution This is a known bug in Ghostscript (until GNU Ghostscript version 7.05) when the base color space of the document is indexed color space and it is converted through CIE color space. Because Postscript uses CIE color space for Color Matching System, you should upgrade Ghostscript on your system to at least GNU Ghostscript version 7.06 or later. You can find recent Ghostscript versions at www.ghostscript.com. This is a known bug in Ghostscript (until GNU Ghostscript version 7.xx) when the base color space of the document is indexed RGB color space and it is converted through CIE color space. Because Postscript uses CIE color space for Color Matching System, you should upgrade Ghostscript on your system to at least GNU Ghostscript version 8.xx or later. You can find recent Ghostscript versions at www.ghostscript.com. 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. 12.24

Troubleshooting>

The machine does

not scan.

•

Check if a document is loaded into the

machine.

•

Check if your machine is connected to the

computer. Make sure it is connected properly if

an I/O error is reported while scanning.

•

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 for different

“consumer” applications to the same port is

possible. To avoid possible conflicts, only one

of them is allowed to gain control over the

device at a time. The other “consumer” will

encounter “device busy” response. This

usually happens while starting the scan

procedure, and an appropriate message box

will be displayed.

To identify the source of the problem, you

should open ports configuration and select the

port assigned to your scanner. port’s symbol /

dev/mfp0 corresponds to LP:0 designation

displayed in the scanners’ options, /dev/mfp1

relates to LP:1 and so on. USB ports start at /

dev/mfp4, so scanner on USB:0 relates to /

dev/mfp4 respectively and so forth

sequentially. 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 you should

press the Release port button, if you are sure

that the port owner is not functioning properly.

I cannot scan via

Gimp Front-end.

•

Check if Gimp Front-end has “Xsane: Device

dialog.” on the “Acquire” menu. If not, you

should install the Xsane plug-in for Gimp on

your computer. You can find Xsane plug-in

package for Gimp on Linux distribution CDs or

on the Gimp home page. For detailed

information, refer to Help for Linux distribution

CD or Gimp Front-end application.

If you wish to use an other kinds of scan

applications, refer to the Help for application.

I encounter error

“Cannot open port

device file” when

printing a document.

Please avoid changing print job parameters (via

LPR GUI, for example) while a print job is in

progress. Known versions of CUPS server cut off

the print jobs whenever print options are changed

and then try to restart the job from the beginning.

Since Unified Linux Driver locks port while

printing, the abrupt termination of the driver

keeps the port locked and therefore unavailable

for subsequent print jobs. If this situation

occurred, try to release the port.

Problem

Possible Cause and Solution

Some color images

come out all black.

This is a known bug in Ghostscript (until GNU

Ghostscript version 7.05) when the base color

space of the document is indexed color space

and it is converted through CIE color space.

Because Postscript uses CIE color space for

Color Matching System, you should upgrade

Ghostscript on your system to at least GNU

Ghostscript version 7.06 or later. You can find

recent Ghostscript versions at

www.ghostscript.com.

Some color images

come out in

unexpected color.

This is a known bug in Ghostscript (until GNU

Ghostscript version 7.xx) when the base color

space of the document is indexed RGB color

space and it is converted through CIE color

space. Because Postscript uses CIE color space

for Color Matching System, you should upgrade

Ghostscript on your system to at least GNU

Ghostscript version 8.xx or later. You can find

recent Ghostscript versions at

www.ghostscript.com.

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.
