    The primary charge uses a corona wire, but since the drum is positively charged, only less than 1/10 of the usual quantity of ozone is generated compared with the negatively charged drum. The level of ozone expelled from the printer is therefore not harmful to the human body. Applicable safety standards have been complied with.

    The following sections describe the details on each tool. Troubleshooting for Printer won’t print This tool instructs you how to clear the problem such as ‘The printer can’t print’ or ‘The printer prints garbage or incorrect fonts’. (1) When you start the program, the Help dialog box shown below appears.
  • Page 190 This tool helps you to report your PC environment to investigate the cause of problem such as ‘Printer won’t print’ or ‘Printer prints garbage or incorrect fonts’. Before using this tool, however, you have to check if you can clear the problem using the ‘Troubleshooting for printer won’t print’ tool described in the previous section.
