Solution
1.Check the power of the printer and perform the Self-
Test. If the test printing works, that means no prob-
lems in the printer itself. If the test printing does not
work, that means bad functioning of the printer(not
because of software). Perform DCU to check the
Error Status.
2. Replace the printer cable. If the problems not solved
even after the cable replaced, check the amount of
the remaining tone.
(refer to Toner Cartridge Service 7.4)
3. Check if the connection between PC and printer port
is proper. If you use windows, check if the printer dri-
ver in the controller is set up. If the printer driver is
properly set up, check in which program the printing
is not working. The best way to find out is to open the
memo pad to check the function of printing. If it is not
working in a certain program, adjust the setup the
program requires. Sometimes, the printout is normal
within the Windows basic programs, but it's not work-
ing in a particular program. In such case, install the
new driver again. If not working in the Windows basic
program, Check the setup of the port of CMOS is on
ECP. And check the address of IRQ 7 and 378
4. If the scanner needs to be connected to the printer,
first the remove the scanner from the PC to see if the
printer is properly working alone.
