Suggested solutions
Change the page orientation in your application. See "Basic Tab".
Ensure that the paper size in the printer driver settings matches the
paper in the tray.
Disconnect the printer cable and reconnect. Try a print job that you
have already printed successfully. If possible, attach the cable and
the printer to another computer and try a print job that you know
works. Finally, try a new printer cable.
Check the application's printer selection menu to ensure that your
printer is selected.
Try printing a job from another application.
Exit Windows and reboot the computer. Power the printer off and
then back on again.
Thoroughly shake the toner. See "Redistributing Toner".
If necessary, replace the toner cartridge.
Check the file to ensure that it does not contain blank pages.
Contact a service representative.
Print the document by selecting Download as Bit Image in the
Advanced window of the Graphic properties.
Reduce the photo size. If you increase the photo size in the
software application, the resolution will be reduced.
Suggested solutions: Change the language setting. See "Printer
Settings Utility".
This is not a problem. Just keep printing.
