Problem Solver
Check the page length settings for the
front or rear tractor using the printer's
default-setting mode. See "Changing
default settings" on page 124.
What to do
Check that the interface cable is not
broken or twisted. If you have another
interface cable, replace the cable and
check whether the printer works
correctly.
When you use a printer changer, printer
buffer, or a extension cable, the printer
does not print correctly due to the
combination of these devices. Make sure
that the printer works correctly when it
is connected to your computer without
these devices.
Check that the printer driver is installed
properly. If necessary, reinstall the
printer driver.
Turn the printer off, open the printer
cover and remove the jammed paper or
things that are stuck.
Confirm the USB setting is correct. See
"Correcting USB Problems" on page 150
for details.
