Check that you are using the proper printer driver. (See “Select the right printer driver for your needs” on page 30.)

The data file sent to the printer might be corrupt. To test, try printing it on another printer (if possible), or try a different file.

Check the interface cable connections. Test the cable by trying it on another computer (if possible).

Replace the interface cable with a high-quality cable (see “Ordering information” on page 17).

Simplify the print job, or print at a lower resolution. See the description of “RESOLUTION” on page 160, or install more printer memory. (See “Printer memory and expansion” on page 169.)

You might be missing a printer message that could help you solve the problem. On the System Setup submenu (on the Configure Device menu) at the printer control panel, temporarily turn the Clearable Warnings and Auto Continue settings off. (See “CLEARABLE WARNINGS” on page 163 and “AUTO CONTINUE” on page 163). Then print the job again.

Simplify the print job.

Add more memory to the printer. (See “Printer memory and expansion” on page 169.)

Turn banner pages off. (See your network administrator.)

Note that slower speeds should be expected if you are printing narrow paper, printing from tray 1, using the HIGH 2 fuser mode, or have set Small Paper Speed to SLOW.

Check settings in

￿the printer driver or program. (The printer driver and program settings override printer control panel settings.)

The print job is not formatted correctly.

Paper is not fed correctly or is damaged.

There are print-quality problems.

Check that you are using the proper printer
