14 Troubleshooting 14 Overview 14 This chapter explains how to resolve typical problems you may encounter when using the printer. If you have any problems with the printer, first make sure you have performed the following tasks correctly: Install the battery or connect the printer to an AC or DC power outlet (see Use the Rechargeable Li-ion Battery (Optional) on page 10). Remove all protective packaging from the printer.
Troubleshooting Paper Problems 14 Problem Solution The paper is jammed in the printer See Clearing a Paper Jam on page 95. The paper feeds through the printer, but nothing appears on the paper Make sure you are using thermal paper. The print surface must face the back, when looking from the front of the printer. Check the print density setting using the Printer Setting Tool (see Changing the Printer Settings on page 45).
Troubleshooting Problem Solution The printed page contains incorrect characters Make sure you have defined the correct character set (font) in the application. This printer is not detected when establishing a Bluetooth connection (PJ-762/PJ-763/PJ-763MFi only) 1 Check that the Try changing the font used in the document. (Bluetooth) indicator is lit in blue. If the (Bluetooth) indicator is flashing or turned off, the Bluetooth connection is not established.
Troubleshooting Pages Do Not Print Problem The DATA indicator remains lit in green but the printer does not print 14 Solution Printing of all received data is not completed. Wait until it is finished. If paper is not loaded, load the paper. If the printer does not print even though paper is loaded, remove the paper, and then load it again. Try printing again after turning the printer off, and then on again.
Troubleshooting Pages Are Partially Printed Problem The DATA indicator turns off while a page remains in the printer 14 Solution The computer or mobile device may not have sent a full page of data. Try printing the document again. The computer or mobile device may have sent the wrong page size information, or the size of the loaded paper is wrong.
Troubleshooting Problem Your Wi-Fi access point/router is in stealth mode (not broadcasting the SSID) Your printer is not connected correctly to the network Solution You should enter the correct SSID name during the installation or when using the Printer Setting Tool. Check the SSID name in the instructions supplied with your Wi-Fi access point/router and reconfigure the Wi-Fi settings. For PJ-773, check the Wi-Fi indicator on the printer. : The network is correctly connected.
Troubleshooting Problem Your previous printing job failed Solution If the failed printing job is still in your computer's print queue, delete it. When using Windows ® 7: , [Devices and Printers] and select your printer from [Printers and Faxes]. Double-click your printer's icon, and then choose [Cancel All Documents] in the [Printer] menu. Your printer is not connected correctly to the network For PJ-773, check the Wi-Fi indicator on the printer. : The network is correctly connected.

16 Network Terms and Information 16 16 Types of Network Connections and Protocols 16 You will find basic information about the advanced network features of the Brother printer, along with general networking and common terms. The supported protocols and network features differ depending on the model you are using. Types of Network Connections 16 Peer-to-Peer printing using TCP/IP 16 In a Peer-to-Peer environment, each computer directly sends and receives data to each device.
Network Terms and Information Network Shared printing 16 In a Network Shared environment, each computer sends data via a centrally controlled computer. This type of computer is often called a “Server” or a “Print Server”. Its job is to control the printing of all print jobs. Network printer (your printer) 1 Client computers 2 Also known as “Server” or “Print server” 3 TCP/IP or USB In a larger network, we recommend using a Network Shared printing environment.
Network Terms and Information Configuring Your Printer for a Network 16 16 IP Addresses, Subnet Masks and Gateways 16 To use the printer in a networked TCP/IP environment, you need to configure its IP address and subnet mask. The IP address you assign to the print server must be on the same logical network as your host computers. If it is not, you must correctly configure the subnet mask and the gateway address.
Network Terms and Information Subnet mask 16 16 Subnet masks restrict network communication. For example, Computer 1 can talk to Computer 2 • Computer 1 IP Address: 192.168.1.2 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 • Computer 2 IP Address: 192.168.1.3 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 The 0 in the Subnet mask signifies that there is no limit to communication at this part of the address. In the above example, this means, we can communicate with any device with an IP address that begins with 192.168.1.x.
Network Terms and Information Wireless Network Terms and Concepts 16 16 Security Terms 16 Authentication and encryption 16 Most wireless networks use some kind of security settings. These security settings define the authentication (how the device identifies itself to the network) and encryption (how the data is encrypted as it is sent on the network).
Network Terms and Information TKIP 16 TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provides per-packet key mixing, a message integrity check and rekeying mechanism. AES Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) provides stronger data protection using a symmetric-key encryption.
Network Terms and Information Authentication and Encryption methods for an enterprise wireless network 16 16 An enterprise wireless network is a large network with IEEE 802.1x support. If you configure your printer in an IEEE 802.1x supported wireless network, you can use the following authentication and encryption methods: Authentication methods 16 LEAP (For wireless network) Cisco LEAP (Light Extensible Authentication Protocol) has been developed by Cisco Systems, Inc.
