Solving printing problems
Solution
• Print the job. (Only part of the job may print.)
• Delete the job.
• Free up additional printer memory by scrolling through the list of
held jobs and deleting others you have sent to the printer.
Delete the job.
Reduce the complexity of your print job by eliminating the number
and size of fonts, the number and complexity of images, and the
number of pages in the job.
Set Page Protect to Off from the Setup Menu.
For more information, see the Menus and Messages Guide.
Make sure the Paper Size and Paper Type specified in the printer
driver match the paper size and type in the tray.
If you are using a parallel interface, make sure you are using an
IEEE 1284-compliant parallel cable. We recommend Lexmark part
number 1329605 (10 ft) or 1427498 (20 ft) for the standard parallel
port.
If Ready Hex appears on the display, you must exit Hex Trace
mode before you can print your job. Turn the printer off and back
on to exit Hex Trace mode.
• Make sure both the size and type of media are the same in both
trays.
• Make sure the paper guides in the trays are set for the correct
size media.
• Make sure the menu values for both size and type are set
correctly in the Paper Menu.
• See Linking trays, or see the Menus and Messages Guide for
more information.
Set Collation to On in the Finishing Menu or through the printer
driver.
Note: Setting Collation to Off in the driver overrides the setting in
the Finishing Menu.
