The printing is not working properly even when the cable has no problem.
• Description

If the printer won't work at all or strange characters are only printed,
it may be the printer driver problem.

or not completed due to insufficient memory.)

Name of Printer Port :
To reinstall the printer driver, do after removing the current driver.
• While installing the driver, Set and PC should be connected.
(The printer setup may be wrong if they are not connected during installing.)
• The SCX-1100 Model supports all the USB/Parallel Print, select the USB Port when using
the USB, while select the LPT Port when using the Parallel.
Solution
1. Check 'My Computer - Printers'.
(If the printer driver is installed not compatible with the
printer currently installed or an error occurs in the driver
file, remove the existing driver and reinstall the printer
driver by using the 'Printer Add' menu.
2. This is because of an insufficient virtual memory.
(It does not mean the actual capacity of RAM but the
space of hard disk.)
Delete unnecessary files to secure enough space of the
hard disk and try printing again.
