Printer Problems

This section describes printing problems and possible solutions.
Problem
An error occurs.
A print job is canceled.
There is a considerable delay
between the print start command
and actual printing.
The whole printout is blurred.
Cannot print properly when using a
certain application, or cannot print
image data properly.
Some characters are printed faintly
or not printed.
The print position is misaligned.
If an error occurs when printing, change the computer or
printer driver settings.
• Check the printer icon name does not exceed 32
alphanumeric characters. If it does, shorten it.
• Check whether other applications are operating.
Close any other applications, as they may be interfering
with printing. If the problem is not resolved, close
unneeded processes too.
• Check that the latest printer driver is being used.
Set I/O Timeout to a larger value than the current settings.
• Processing time depends on data volume. High volume
data, such as graphics-heavy documents, take longer to
be processed. Wait for a while.
• To speed up printing, reduce the printing resolution using
the printer driver. For details, see the printer driver Help.
• Paper is damp. Use paper that has been stored properly.
See page 50 "Supported Paper".
• If you enable [Toner Saving], printing is generally less
dense.
• Condensation may have collected. If rapid change in
temperature or humidity occurs, use this machine only
after it has acclimatized.
Change the print quality settings.
Specify [Printer Registration] in [System Settings] to adjust the
print position.
