Troubleshooting>

The

machine

selects

print

materials

from the

wrong

paper

source.

The paper source

selection in the

printer properties

may be incorrect.

For many software applications,

the paper source selection is

found under the Paper

tab within

the printer properties. Select the

correct paper source. See the

printer driver help screen.

A print job

is

extremely

slow.

The job may be very

complex.

Reduce the complexity of the

page or try adjusting the print

quality settings.

If you are using

Windows 98/Me, the

Spool Setting may

be set incorrectly.

From the Start menu, choose

Settings and then Printers.

Right-click the Samsung SCX-

5x30 Series PCL 6 machine

icon, choose Properties, click

the Details tab, and then choose

the Spool Settings button.

Select the desired spool setting.

Half the

page is

blank.

The page orientation

setting may be

incorrect.

Change the page orientation in

your application. See the printer

driver help screen.

The paper size and

the paper size

settings do not

match.

Ensure that the paper size in the

printer driver settings matches

the paper in the tray.

Or, ensure that the paper size in

the printer driver settings

matches the paper selection in

the software application settings

you use.

The

machine

prints, but

the text is

wrong,

garbled, or

incomplete.

The printer cable is

loose or defective.

Disconnect the printer cable and

reconnect. Try a print job that

you have already printed

successfully. If possible, attach

the cable and the machine to

another computer and try a print

job that you know works. Finally,

try a new printer cable.

The wrong printer

driver was selected.

Check the application’s printer

selection menu to ensure that

your machine is selected.

The software

application is

malfunctioning.

Try printing a job from another

application.

The operating

system is

malfunctioning.

Exit Windows and reboot the

computer. Turn the machine off

and then back on again.
