Printer Does Not Start or Stops
■Checking the Printer and Computer Connection
If you have problems with the printer, the cause may be in the hardware you are using to connect the printer and computer.
•If you are using a switching device, USB hub or external buffer, disconnect the device and connect the printer directly to the computer again. If you can print normally with the direct connection, contact the manufacturer of the device.
