Troubleshooting
Printing
What should I do if I cannot print a document?
❑Make sure your printer is on, and the printer cable is securely connected to the ports on the printer and computer.
❑Make sure your printer is compatible with the Windows operating system installed on your computer.
❑You may need to install the printer driver software before you use your printer. See the manual that came with your printer for more information.
❑If your printer is not functioning after your computer resumes from a power saving mode (Sleep or Hibernate), then restart the computer.
❑If the bidirectional communication functions are provided with your printer, disabling the functions on your computer may enable printing. Follow these steps:
1 Click Start and Control Panel.
2 Click Printer under Hardware and Sound.
3
4 Click the Ports tab.
5 Click to cancel the Enable bidirectional support check box.
6 Click OK.
This change to the settings disables the bidirectional communication functions of the printer, such as data transfer, status monitoring, and remote panel.
