Take the toner cartridge out of the package and prepare it for loading. Shake the toner cartridge well to ensure that the toner will dispense properly. Open the lid of the toner supply port. Insert the left side notch, located at the bottom of the toner cartridge, into the end of the toner supply port.
Page 260
Slide the toner supply lever back and remove the cartridge. Close the lid on the toner supply port. • If the toner splashes around the toner supply port, clean the area after the loading is completed. • Toner may adhere to the bottom of toner cartridge.
Check the Control Panel(s) When a machine failure is suspected, for example, when a print cannot be made or the image quality is defective, first check for error messages or error codes on the printer control panel. When an error code is displayed, press the < > and < > keys on the printer control panel at the same time.
Poor Image Quality Perform the following corrective measures if the copies or prints display one of the image quality defects listed below. Image Quality Defect Corrective Measure The print displays excessive Verify that the image density setting is correct. background Check the quality of the original.
Other Problems Follow the instructions provided in the table to recover from the errors which are listed. Error Recovery Nothing is displayed on the • Verify that the machine is connected to a correctly printer control panel. rated power supply, that the power plug is plugged in, and that the power switches and the circuit breaker switch are in the On positions.
Check the compression format of the TIFF data. TIFF data compressed with the LZW format is not supported by the 6030/6050 Wide Format and will not print. If the image is printed but either in enlarged or reduced sizes, there are cases where this can be overridden by making sure that resolution for the TIFF data is correctly set in [TIFF Option].
Jams in the Feeder (Roll Media) Media jams in the roll feeder(s) are caused by incorrect media loading methods and defects in the media feeding mechanism. Reload the media according to the following procedure. Procedure Open the media tray. Rewind the media on the roll from which the jam has occurred by rotating it toward you.
Page 267
Window Rotate the knob until the lead edge of the media can be seen in the window. Rotate the knob at the rear if the jam occurred with the rear roll. Gently but firmly close the media tray until it is as far back as it can go.
Jams in the Printer and Ejection Port Remove media jams from the printer and ejection port following the instructions below. Procedure Lift up the lever located on the left-hand side of the output unit. Use both hands to lift up the top of the unit. The top of the unit cannot be lifted if the scanner's lock has been released.
Page 269
Pull the jammed media slowly toward you to remove it. • Avoid damaging the media. • Do not touch any of the high- temperature components in the machine when removing paper jams. Pull the green stopper to the front. Grasp the document table with both hands and gently but firmly lower it into place.
