tion Page"

print when you issue a print command from your com-
puter, it probably means there is a problem with your

long time for printer process.
Connect the interface cable properly. If there are any con-
nectors or screws, make sure they are fastened securely.

depends on your computer. Be sure to use the correct
one. => P.110 "Specifications"
