Sometimes printing the first page takes longer than I expect.
The printer automatically goes into an energy-saving mode after it’s been idle
for a while. When you print while it’s in this mode, the printer takes up to
three minutes to warm up before it can print the first page.
The printer is properly connected and configured, but printing is garbled or displays
unwanted characters.
Check the communication switch and make sure that the Interpreter is set to
the correct value. If you are printing a PostScript document, the Interpreter
mode should be PostScript or AutoSelect.
