Solving option problems

If an option does not operate correctly after it is installed, or if it quits working:

•Turn the MFP off, wait for about 10 seconds, and turn the MFP on. If this does not fix the problem, unplug the MFP, and check the connection between the option and MFP.

•Print the menu settings page, and check to see if the option is listed in the Installed Options list. If the option is not listed, reinstall it. See Printing the menu settings page for more information.

•Make sure the option is selected in the software application you are using.

The following table lists MFP options and suggested corrective actions for related problems. If the suggested corrective action does not fix the problem, call your service representative.

Option	Action
Drawers	• Make sure the connection between drawers (250-sheet drawer, 500-sheet drawer, or 2000-sheet
	drawer) or the connection between a drawer and a duplex unit or the MFP is secure.
	• Make sure the print media is loaded correctly. See Loading standard or optional 500-sheet
	trays for more details.
Duplex unit	• Make sure the connection between the duplex unit and the MFP is secure. If the duplex unit is
	listed on the menu settings page, but print media jams when it enters or exits the duplex unit, the
	MFP and duplex unit may not be properly aligned.
