6 TROUBLESHOOTING Troubleshooting This chapter describes how to solve printer problems. Refer to the relevant section based on the problem. To load paper, remove paper misfeeds, load staples in the finisher, remove jammed staples, or replace the toner cartridge, see "TROUBLESHOOTING" in operation manual.
6 TROUBLESHOOTING Printing does not take place (part 1) Check the connections USB or parallel connection in Windows Network connection ■ Is the interface cable compatible with the machine and computer? ■ Is the LAN cable disconnected? Interface cables compatible with this machine are USB. Check which type of cable is supported by your computer. For the specifications of the interface cable, see "CONNECTING TO A COMPUTER" in the software setup guide for network printer.
6 TROUBLESHOOTING Printing does not take place (part 2) Check Your Computer ■ Is there enough computer memory or hard disk space? To use the machine, your computer must have sufficient memory and hard disk space. If there is insufficient hard disk space, delete unnecessary files to increase the free space of the hard disk. If there is insufficient memory, close unnecessary applications to increase memory available for printing.
6 TROUBLESHOOTING Printing does not take place (part 3) Check the machine ■ Power switch on? ■ Copy job being performed? Turn the power switch on. (See "POWER ON AND OFF" in the operation manual) ■ Is the machine online? When the ON LINE indicator next to the [PRINT] key on the operation panel is lit, the machine is online and ready to print. If the ON LINE indicator is off, press the [PRINT] key and then touch the [ONLINE] key. (When [ONLINE] is highlighted, the machine is online.
TROUBLESHOOTING 6 Printing does not take place (part 4) Checking the printer driver ■ Is your machine selected correctly in the current application for the print job? Select the printer driver of the machine in the print settings window of the application. ● If the printer drivers appear as icons, click the icon of the machine. ● If the printer drivers are selected from a pull-down menu, select the printer driver of the machine from the menu.
6 TROUBLESHOOTING Improper printing operation Printing is slow ■ Simultaneous use of two or more application software programs? Start printing after quitting all unused application software programs. ■ Is an appropriate print quality selected in the printer driver? It takes longer to process the print data when "SMOOTHING" is enabled, and this may slow the printing speed. Be sure to select print quality settings that are appropriate for the image being printed.
6 TROUBLESHOOTING Improper printing operation (part 2) ■ Does the print job include page sizes that cannot be stapled? Stapling is not possible if the print job includes page sizes that cannot be stapled. ■ Is the paper tray that is selected in the printer driver set to a paper size or paper type that cannot be used for stapling? On the machine, set the paper tray to be used for staple printing to a paper size and paper type that can be used for stapling.
6 TROUBLESHOOTING Print quality is not satisfactory (part 1) Check the paper being used The printed image is coarse ■ Non-standard paper used? ■ Have the printer driver settings been specified to suit both paper and the print job? Check that the paper conforms to the specifications. Refer to "LOADING PAPER" in the operation manual. ■ Are you using paper with a high moisture content? Use paper that is in good condition, with a low moisture content and no curling.
6 TROUBLESHOOTING Print quality is not satisfactory Part of the printed image is missing ■ Did you set sufficient margins in the paper settings of your application? Printing is not possible at the edges of the paper. The print margins are 5/32" (4 mm) at the top and bottom of the paper and 1/8" (3 mm) at the sides of the paper. When configuring the paper settings in the software application, be sure to establish margins that are at least as large as the print margins.
6 TROUBLESHOOTING If a notice page is printed (part 1) If you find that a notice page has been printed at the end of a print job, the print data received from the computer has not been printed as specified. Fix the problem as explained below and then try printing again.
