Recommendation
Make sure that the printer cable is not too long. We recommend that you use a

USB cable that is no longer than 2 meters (6.5 feet).
 Make sure that the printer cable is not damaged or broken.
 If you are using an interface-switching device, remove it. Connect your computer
directly to your machine, and then try again.
 Make sure that you have chosen the correct printer driver with 'Set as Default
Printer'.
 Make sure that the machine is not connected to the same port that is also
connected to a storage device or scanner. Remove all other devices and connect
the machine to the port only.
 Press Go to print the remaining data in the machine's memory. Cancel the print
job if you want to delete the remaining data in the machine memory. (See Go
button on page 60.)
