							Printing problems
2806.  Troubleshooting
The machine does not 
print.The machine may be configured incorrectly.  Check the 
Printing Preferences to ensure that all of the print settings are correct.
The printer driver may be incorrectly installe d. Uninstall and reinstall the machine’s driver.
The machine is malfunctioning. C heck the display message on the control panel to see if the machine is indicating a 
system error. Contact a  service representative.
The document size is so big that the hard disk 
space of the computer is insufficient to access the 
print job. Get more hard disk space and print the document again.
The output tray is full. Once the paper is removed  from the output tray, the machine resumes printing.
The machine selects print 
materials from the wrong 
paper source. The paper option that was selected in the 
Printing Preferences
 may be incorrect. For many software applicat
ions, the paper source selection is found under the  Paper tab 
within the  Printing Preferences  (see "Opening printing pr eferences" on page 54). 
Select the correct paper source. See the printe r driver help screen (see "Using help" on 
page 55).
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.
Half the page is blank. The page orientation setting may be incorrec t. Change the page orientation in your application (see "Opening printing preference s" on 
page 54). See the printer driver help  screen (see "Using help" on page 55).
The paper size and the paper size settings do not 
match. Ensure that the paper size in the printer dr
iver settings matches the paper in the tray.
Or, ensure that the paper size in the printe r driver settings matches the paper selection 
in the software application settings you us e (see "Opening printing preferences" on 
page 54).
The machine prints, but 
the text is wrong, 
garbled, or incomplete. The machine cable is loose or defective. Disconnect the machine cable and reconnect
. Try a print job that you have already 
printed successfully. If possib le, attach the cable and the machine to another computer 
that you know works and try a print  job. Finally, try a new machine cable.
