See p.41 "Loading Paper".
• Impact can cause lines to appear on printed paper and
other malfunctions.
Protect the printer from impact at all times, especially
while it is printing.
• If lines appear on prints, turn the printer off, wait a few
moments, and then turn it back on again. Then, perform
the print job again.
When you are using the Windows operating system, the
printer driver settings override those set using the control
panel. Set the desired input tray using the printer driver.
See the printer driver Help.
When you use some functions, such as enlargement and
reduction, the layout of the image might be different from
that displayed in the computer display.
• The data is so large or complex that it takes time to proc-
ess it. If the Ready indicator is blinking, the data is being
processed. Just wait until it resumes.
• The printer was in the Energy Saver mode. To resume
from the Energy Saver mode, the printer has to warm
up, and this takes time until printing starts. To disable
the Energy Saver mode, select [Off] for [Energy Saver Mode
2:] using Smart Organizing Monitor.
• Photographs and other data intensive pages take a long
time for the printer to process, so simply wait when print-
ing such data.
Changing the settings with printer driver may help to
speed up printing.
See the printer driver Help.
• The data is so large or complex that takes time to process.
If the Ready indicator is blinking, the data is being proc-
essed. Just wait until it resumes.
• If the Ready indicator on the control panel is flashing, the
printer is warming up. Wait for a while.
If you are using paper smaller than the paper size selected in
the application, use the same size paper as that selected in the
application. If you cannot load paper of the correct size, use
the reduction function to reduce the image, and then print.
See the printer driver Help.
