Status and Error Messages
You can see the printer’s status and error messages on the LCD panel. For more
information, see "Status and Error Messages" on page 192.
Canceling Printing
You can cancel printing from your computer by using the printer driver or from the printer’s
control panel.
To cancel a print job before it is sent from your computer, for Windows, see "Canceling
Printing" on page 91 or for Macintosh, see "Canceling Printing" on page 145.
The + Cancel Job button on your printer is the quickest and easiest way to cancel printing.
For instructions, see "Canceling Printing" on page 210.
Printing in the PostScript 3 Mode Problems
The problems listed in this section are those that you may encounter when printing with the
PostScript driver. All procedural instructions refer to the PostScript printer driver.
The printer does not print correctly in the PostScript mode
Cause What to do
The printer’s emulation mode setting is
incorrect.
The printer is set to the Auto mode by default, so that
it can automatically determine the encoding used in
the received print job data and select the
appropriate emulation mode. However, there are
situations where the printer cannot select the correct
emulation mode. In this case, it must be set manually
to PS3.
Set the emulation mode through the SelecType
Emulation menu on the printer. See "Emulation
Menu" on page 173.
