C C-1 Troubleshooting This section provides some troubleshooting guidelines should a problem arise. If you are still unable to resolve a problem, contact your authorized service/support center. Appendix C: Troubleshooting Basic troubleshooting tips There are some basic situations that can cause a variety of problems. Before you look for a specific problem, use the tips in this list. 1. Check the power and cables for your DocuColor, copier, and computer. 2.
C C-2 Troubleshooting General printing problems If this happens: The DocuColor doesn’t appear in the Macintosh Chooser list of printers Try this: 1. On the Macintosh, make sure that the correct zone is selected and that AppleTalk is active. AppleTalk must be active. The DocuColor may be in a different zone from the one that’s selected. (If your network doesn’t have zones, this is not applicable.) Print the Configuration page from the Control Panel to view the correct AppleTalk zone. 2.
C C-3 Troubleshooting If this happens: Try this: Printing seems to take too long • Special paper or transparency options are grayed out • Select a tray that supports printing special paper or transparencies such as the Bypass Tray. DocuColor doesn’t respond to a Print command • Has someone disconnected the copier by selecting Suspend Printing? Print to the Print queue instead of to the direct connection.
C C-4 Troubleshooting If this happens: Message requests a paper size that you don’t have Try this: • Cancel the job and do one of the following: If you are printing a PostScript file, set the Convert Paper Sizes setting in Printer Setup on the Control Panel to convert the job to the paper size you do have. You can do this to convert between US and metric paper sizes. See the Administrator Guide for information.
C C-5 Troubleshooting If this happens: Jobs sent to the parallel port do not print (cont’d.) Try this: • If the PostScript Printer Driver that you are using lets you select bi-directional communication, make sure that it is disabled. This is generally set from the Properties dialog box for the printer. • If you are printing from a DOS window with Windows 95, display the Properties dialog box for the printer, click the Details tab, and then click Port Settings.
C C-6 Troubleshooting If this happens: Your printed file appears too dark Try this: • Adjust the image’s Brightness setting in the Printer Specific Options (Macintosh)/ Options (Windows), Download (Downloader), or Override Print Settings (Spooler) dialog box. You can use the Brightness options in Downloader to adjust the lightness of your image whenever you print a PostScript or Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file.
C C-7 Troubleshooting Downloader problems If his happens: You can’t print an EPS file using Downloader Try this: • Try printing using the “Showpage” option in the Download PostScript File dialog box. The Showpage (after EPS file) option adds a “showpage” PostScript language command at the end of the print job. Certain applications omit this necessary PostScript language command when they generate EPS files.
