If this problem occurs when making copies or printing received faxes, turn Toner
Save mode to off in the machine menu settings. (See Toner save on page 21.)
Set Toner Save mode to off in the Advanced tab in the printer driver. (See
Advanced tab in the Software User's Guide on the CD-ROM.)
Suggestions
the Network Configuration list to see your current Network settings. (See How to
print a report on page 73.) Reconnect the LAN cable to the hub to verify that the
cabling and network connections are good. If possible, try connecting the
machine to a different port on your hub using a different cable. If the connections
are good, the upper LED of the back panel of the machine will be green.
If you are having Network problems see the Network User's Guide on the CD-
ROM for more information.
