The machine doesn’t	• Check if the printer driver is installed in your system. Open
print	MFP configurator and switch to the Printers tab in Printers
	configuration window to look at the list of available
	printers. Make sure that your machine is displayed on the
	list. If not, please, invoke Add new printer wizard to set up
	your device.
	• Check if the printer is started. Open Printers configuration
	and select your machine on the printers list. Look at the
	description in the Selected printer pane. If its status
	contains “(stopped)” string, please, press the Start
	button. After that normal operation of the printer should be
	restored. The "stopped" status might be activated when
	some problems in printing occurred. For instance, this
	could be an attempt to print document when MFP port is
	claimed by a scanning application.
	• Check if the MFP port is not busy. Since functional
	components of MFP (printer and scanner) share the same
	I/O interface (MFP port), the situation of simultaneous
	access of different “consumer” application to the same MFP
	port is possible. To avoid possible conflicts, only one of
	them at a time is allowed to gain control over the device.
	The other “consumer” will encounter “device busy”
	response. You should open MFP ports configuration and
	select the port assigned to your printer. In the Selected
	port pane you can see if the port is occupied by some other
	application. If this is the case, you should wait for
	completion of the current job or should press Release port
	button, if you are sure that the present owner is not
	functioning properly.
	Check if your application has special print option such as
	“-oraw”. If “-oraw” is specified in the command line
	parameter then remove it to print properly. For Gimp
	front-end, select “print” -> “Setup printer” and edit
	command line parameter in the command item.

	• Check if the scanner driver for you machine is installed in
	your system. Open MFP Configurator, switch to Scanners
	configuration, then press Drivers. Make sure that driver
	with a name corresponding to your machine's name is
	listed in the window.
