There is a problem in the machine.
Printing problems Solving other problems Condition The following chart lists some conditions that may occur and the recommended solutions. Follow the suggested solutions until the problem is corrected. If the problem persists, please call for service. Possible cause The machine is not receiving power. Check the power cord connections. Check the power switch and the power source. The machine is not selected as the default printer. Select a machine name as your default printer in your Windows.
Condition Possible cause Suggested solutions Condition Possible cause The machine selects print materials from the wrong paper source. The paper option that was selected in the machine properties may be incorrect. For many software applications, the paper source selection is found under the Paper tab within the printer properties. Select the correct paper source. See the printer driver help screen. Pages print, but they are blank. The toner cartridge is defective or out of toner.
Printing quality problems Condition If the inside of the machine is dirty or paper has been loaded improperly, you may notice a reduction in print quality. See the table below to clear the problem. Condition Suggested solutions Light or faded print If a vertical white streak or faded area appears on the page: • The toner supply is low. You may be able to temporarily extend the toner cartridge life. If this does not improve the print quality, install a new toner cartridge.
Condition Vertical repetitive defects Background scatter Misformed characters Page skew Suggested solutions Condition If marks repeatedly appear on the printed side of the page at even intervals: • Clean the inside of the machine. Contact a service representative to clean the inside of the machine. After cleaning the inside of the machine, if you still have the same problems, install a new toner cartridge of the problem color. See "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 8.5.
Condition Loose toner Character Voids Horizontal stripes Curl Suggested solutions Condition • Clean the inside of the machine. Contact a service representative to clean the inside of the machine. After cleaning the inside of the machine, if you still have the same problems, contact a service representative. • Check the paper type and quality. (See "Specifications on print media" on page 4.3.) • Remove the toner cartridge, and then install a new one. (See "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 8.5.
Scanning problems Common Windows problems Condition Suggested solutions Condition Suggested solutions The scanner does not work. • Make sure that you place the original to be scanned face down on the scanner glass,. • There may not be enough available memory to hold the document you want to scan. Try the Prescan function to see if that works. Try lowering the scan resolution rate. • Check that the printer cable is connected properly. • Make sure that the printer cable is not defective.
Common Linux problems Problem Possible cause and solutions The machine does not print. • Check if the printer driver is installed in your system. Open Unified Driver configurator and switch to the Printers tab in Printers configuration window to look at the list of available printers. Make sure that your machine is displayed on the list. If not, please, invoke Add new printer wizard to set up your device. • Check if the printer has started.
Problem Possible cause and solutions 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 if 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 of different “consumer” application to the same port is possible.
