Cause and solution
The machine is set to off-line mode.
→ Press the [PRINT] key to select printer mode and then select
"ONLINE" with the [ ] key.
Your machine is not selected correctly in the application
for the print job.
→ In the dialog box that appears after you select [Print] from the [File]
menu in the application, make sure you have selected the machine
as the printer.
Copying or scanning is in progress, or a fax is being
printed (when the fax option is installed).
→ Wait until copying, scanning, or fax printing is finished.
Has the printer driver been installed correctly?
→ Install the appropriate printer driver. For the procedure for installing
the printer driver, see the "Software setup guide", which
accompanies the machine.
The port setting is not correct.
→ Printing is not possible if the printer driver port setting is not correct.
Set the port correctly.
"CANCEL JOBS OF INVALID ACCOUNTS" is enabled.
→ Enter a correct account number in the printer driver before printing
(consult your key operator).
The printed page limit has been reached.
→ Consult your key operator.
(Depending on the machine status, the DATA indicator may blink.)
There is no paper in the specified tray.
→ Load paper in the tray.
"FORCED OUTPUT OF PRINT" is disabled.
→ Add paper to the bypass tray, press the [PRINT] key on the machine
to switch to printer mode, and then select "BYPASS-TRAY". Printing
will resume.
Simultaneous use of two or more application software
programs.
→ Start printing after quitting all unused application software programs.
The paper is loaded so that printing takes place on the
back side of the paper.
→ Some types of paper have a front and a back side. If the paper is
loaded so that printing takes place on the back side, toner will not
adhere well to the paper and a good image will not be obtained.
You are using paper that is outside the specified size and
weight range.
→ Use paper within the specified range.
The paper is curled or damp.
→ Replace the paper. During periods when the machine is not used for
a long time, remove the paper from the tray and store it in a dark
place in a bag to prevent moisture absorption.
You did not set sufficient margins in the paper settings of
your application.
→ The top and bottom of the paper may be dirty if the margins are set
outside of the specified print quality area.
→ Set the margins within the specified print quality area.
