You might need to modify
your BIOS setup.
Your system setup might be a
problem.
Your computer is sending
data to the printer but the
printer is not responding.
The printer might be off,
offline, or not connected to
the computer.
Solution
Make sure your cable connections are
secure.
Make sure your parallel interface cable is
less than 9.9 feet (3.0 m) or USB interface
cable is less than 16.5 feet (5.0 m) long.
Make sure you are not using a switch box.
Check that you have selected the correct
printer driver in Windows.
Make sure the Canon PC1200/iC D700 is
selected in the Printers (in Windows XP,
Printers and Faxes) folder.
See your computer's documentation for
details. Try changing the parallel port
mode or the parallel port address to see if
this solves the problem.
Verify that you have a high-quality
shielded interface cable.
The problem might be your BIOS. Verify
that your BIOS setup is correct. (See your
computer's documentation for details.)
Verify that your physical memory is
working correctly.
If you have a Toshiba laptop, change this
line in your CONFIG.SYS file:
c:\winutils\mxtime.exe
to:
REM c:\winutils\mxtime.exe
Make sure the printer is not paused.
Check that the printer's interface cable is
securely connected to both the printer and
the computer.
Make sure paper is properly loaded in the
paper tray.
Reset the printer and computer.
Try the print operation again.
Try a different cable.
