Recommendation
■
Make sure the printer cable is not too long. We recommend you use a parallel
or USB cable that is less than 2 meters (6.5 feet) in length.
■
Make sure that the printer cable is not damaged or broken.
■
If you are using an interface-switching device, remove it. Connect your computer
directly to your printer, and then try again.
■
Check that you have chosen the appropriate printer driver with 'Set as Default'.
■
Make sure that the printer is not connected to the same port that is also
connected to a storage device or scanner. Take away all other devices and
connect the port only to the printer.
■
Turn off Printer Status Monitor in the Device Options tab in the printer driver.
■
Press the Go button to print the data left in the printer. Cancel the print job if you
want to delete the data remaining in the printer, see Cancel printing on page 3-7.
