Printout Is Faint Or Colours Are Wrong - Canon BJC 6100 - Color Inkjet Printer User Manual

Troubleshooting
Cause:
Switching device or external buffer fault.
Solution:
Disconnect the switching device or external buffer and print with the printer directly connected to the comput-
er.
If you can then print normally, the fault is probably in the switching device or external buffer. Consult the
hardware manufacturer.
Cause:
USB hub fault.
Solution:
Disconnect the USB hub you are using and then directly connect the printer to the computer. If the printer
can print normally, the USB hub may not be operating properly.
Cause:
Printer is set to ECP mode.
Solution:
Disable ECP mode.
Open the Printer Properties dialog box. Click on the Maintenance tab and then click on the Custom Setting
button. In the Custom Setting dialog box, disable "Set printer to ECP mode" (if enabled) and click on the
Send button.
Cause:
Internal file or application software problem.
Solution:
Rebuild the document and print it again.
If there is no problem with the new document, the original file was probably faulty. If the same problem
recurs with the new file, contact a Canon service facility.
