unable to print.

Refer to the application’s documentation to check the amount of memory the application requires.

Printing stops in the middle.

1. Has the machine been printing continuously over a long period?

If so, the printhead will overheat. To protect the printhead, printing will stop temporarily and resume

after a period of time. Interrupt printing when appropriate, turn off the machine and wait 15 minutes.

2. Are you printing large files such as photographs or illustrations?

If you are printing large files, it will take time to process the data and printing will appear to have

stopped. Wait until data is processed.

*If you are printing a document with a large printing area or are printing more than two pages, printing may stop

to allow the ink time to dry.
