User's Guide
Solution
Configuration error. Check cable connection.
If more than one printer is available, make sure your printer has been selected.
Check printer status. If the printer light flashes slowly, the print job is progressing. If the light
flashes rapidly, use the control panel software to examine printer status.
Incorrect cable configuration. Check cable configuration, type, continuity and length. Maximum
recommended length is 1·8m.
See software problems.
Starting the computer while the printer is on can cause a communications error. Turn the printer off
before restarting the computer.
Odours are not emitted by the printer. Make sure the forms you use can withstand heating; provide
adequate ventilation. Pre–printed forms, transparencies and adhesive labels must be able to
withstand 200°C (392°F) for 0·1 second.
Power Save mode is set to ON to conserve energy. The fuser must heat up before printing the
next job. To eliminate warm–up delay, use the printer control panel to change Power Save setting.
