Printing Problems Condition The machine does not print. Possible cause Condition Suggested solutions 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 your printer as your default printer in your Windows. Check the machine for the following: • The front door is not closed. • Paper is jammed. After locating the problem, clear it. • Close the door. • No paper is loaded.
Condition Possible cause Pages print, but are blank. The toner cartridge is defective or out of toner. An error occurs repeatedly when you are printing with the USB connection. Printing Quality Problems Suggested solutions Redistribute the toner, if necessary. See “Redistributing Toner” on page 8.4. If necessary, replace the toner cartridge. The file may have blank pages. Check the file to ensure that it does not contain blank pages.
Condition Suggested solutions Vertical lines If black vertical streaks appear on the page: • The drum inside the toner cartridge has probably been scratched. Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one. See “Replacing the Toner Cartridge” on page 8.4.
Copying Problems Condition Suggested solutions Back of printouts are dirty Check for leaking toner. Clean the inside of the machine. See “Cleaning the Inside” on page 8.2. Black pages A Loose toner Character Voids A Horizontal stripes AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc Curl • The toner cartridge may not be installed properly. Remove the cartridge and reinsert it. • The toner cartridge may be defective and need replacing. Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one.
Scanning Problems Condition The scanner does not work. The unit scans very slowly. Suggested solutions • Make sure that you place the document to be scanned face down on the document glass, or face up in the Automatic Document Feeder. • 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 USB or parallel cable is connected properly.
Common Linux Problems Problem The machine doesn’t print. Possible Cause and Solution • Check if the printer driver is installed in your system. Open MFP 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 is started. Open Printers configuration and select your machine on the printers list.
Problem Possible Cause and Solution I can’t print when I installed both Linux Print Package (LPP) and MFP driver on the same machine simultaneously. • Since both Linux Printer Package and MFP driver make a symbolic link to “lpr” printing command, which is commonly used on Unix clones, it is not recommended to use both package on the same machine. • If you still want to use both packages simultaneously, please install the LPP first.
