The first page takes much longer to print than following pages.

•Make sure that the message READY appears on the control panel.

•Set the PowerSave feature for a longer time period. If a page that has complex formatting takes longer to print, changing the PowerSave setting might not improve print speed. You might want to simplify the page.

•Make sure that Auto-OHT mode is not set or that there is less than 5% capacity in the 2,000-sheet side input tray (tray 4).

Garbled pages print, overprints occur, or only a portion of a page prints.

•Make sure that your software program is configured for the correct printer driver.

•Your MFP interface (I/O) cable or your parallel MFP cable might be defective. Replace each cable with a high-quality cable that you know works correctly to determine if either of the cables is defective.

•Set the PERSONALITY item in the Configuration menu to AUTO (See “System setup submenu” on page 150). The MFP might have been set to PCL when a PS job was sent to the MFP, or vice versa.

•Data sent to the MFP might be corrupt. Try sending another file to see if it prints.

•Try turning the MFP off and then turning it back on.
