Printing

Question

The printer prints unexpectedly or it prints incorrect characters.

The computer hangs up when the printer starts printing, or an application error occurs.

My headers or footers appear when I view my document on screen but do not show up when I print them.

Printing takes too long.

The printer doesn’t print in color

Recommendation

Cancel the print job from your computer. Then, turn on and off the printer or reset the printer and try your print job again.

Make sure your application software is correctly set up to use this printer and check the printer driver settings or printer settings in your application software.

Check to see if the system resources are enough (PC memory, etc). When you have many applications open, the system resources of your PC will not be enough and your PC will hang up. Close applications you are not using and try again.

Most laser printers have a restricted area that cannot be printed on. Adjust the top and bottom margins in your document to allow for this.

When you print color graphic images, there is a large amount of data and the printer will take a relatively long time to complete printing.

When you print in Super Fine mode, the printer will take a relatively long time to finish printing.

When the Data LED is blinking, the printer is making itself ready to print. Printing speed depends on memory size or performance of your PC and memory size of the printer.

The printer may be set in monochrome mode.

Check that the color toner(s) have not run out.
