new one. See page 41.
• If the problem persists, the machine may 
require repair. Contact a service 
representative.
Character VoidsCharacter voids are white areas within parts of 
characters that should be solid black:
• If you are using transparencies, try another 
type of transparency. Because of the 
composition of transparencies, some 
character voids are normal. 
• You may be printing on the wrong surface 
of the paper. Remove the paper and turn it 
around. 
• The paper may not meet paper 
specifications. See page 31.
Horizontal stripesIf horizontally aligned black streaks or smears 
appear:
• The toner cartridge may be installed 
improperly. Remove the cartridge and 
reinsert it.
• The toner cartridge may be defective.

require repair. Contact a service 
representative.
CurlIf the printed paper is curled or paper does not 
feed into the machine:
• Turn over the stack of paper in the tray. 
Also try rotating the paper 180° in the tray. 
• Change the printer option and try again. Go 
to printer properties, click Paper tab, and 
set type to Thin Paper. Refer to the 
Software section for details.

The machine does 
not print.• Check if the printer driver is installed in your 
system. Open Unified Driver 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. 
• 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.
Some color images 
come out all black.This is a known bug in Ghostscript (until GNU 
Ghostscript version 7.05) when the base color 
space of the document is indexed color space 
and it is converted through CIE color space. 
Because Postscript uses CIE color space for 
Color Matching System, you should upgrade 
Ghostscript on your system to at least GNU 
Ghostscript version 7.06 or later. You can find 
recent Ghostscript versions at 
www.ghostscript.com.
Some color images 
come out in 
unexpected color.This is a known bug in Ghostscript (until GNU 
Ghostscript version 7.xx) when the base color 
space of the document is indexed RGB color 
space and it is converted through CIE color 
space. Because Postscript uses CIE color 
space for Color Matching System, you should 
upgrade Ghostscript on your system to at least 
GNU Ghostscript version 8.xx or later. You can 
find recent Ghostscript versions at 
www.ghostscript.com.
The machine does 
not print whole pages 
and its output is half 
page printed.It is a known problem that occurs when a color 
printer is used on version 8.51 or earlier of 
Ghostscript, 64-bit Linux OS, and reported to 
bugs.ghostscript.com as Ghostscript Bug 
688252.
The problem is solved in AFPL Ghostscript v. 
8.52 or above. Download the latest version of 
AFPL Ghostscript from http://sourceforge.net/
projects/ghostscript/ and install it to solve this 
problem.
I encounter error 
“Unable to open mfp 
port device file!” 
when printing a 
document.Please avoid changing print job parameters (via 
LPR GUI, for example) while a print job is in 
progress. Known versions of CUPS server 
break the print job whenever print options are 
changed and then try to restart the job from the 
beginning. Since Unified Linux Driver locks mfp 
port while printing, the abrupt termination of the 
driver keeps the port locked and therefore 
unavailable for subsequent print jobs. If this 
situation occurred, please, try to release the 
mfp port.
When printing a 
document over the 
network in SuSE 9.2, 
the printer does not 
print.The CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) 
version distributed with SuSE Linux 9.2 
(cups-1.1.21) has a problem with ipp

ADF
An Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) is a mechanism that will 
automatically feed an original sheet of paper so that the machine can 
scan some amount of the paper at once. 
AppleTalk
AppleTalk is a proprietary suite of protocols developed by Apple, Inc for 
computer networking. It was included in the original Macintosh (1984) 
and is now deprecated by Apple in favor of TCP/IP networking.
BIT Depth
A computer graphics term describing the number of bits used to 
represent the color of a single pixel in a bitmapped image. Higher color 
depth gives a broader range of distinct colors. As the number of bits 
increases, the number of possible colors becomes impractically large for 
a color map. 1-bit color is commonly called as monochrome or black and 
white.
BMP
A bitmapped graphics format used internally by the Microsoft Windows 
graphics subsystem (GDI), and used commonly as a simple graphics file 
format on that platform.
BOOTP
Bootstrap Protocol. A network protocol used by a network client to 
obtain its IP address automatically. This is usually done in the bootstrap 
process of computers or operating systems running on them. The 
BOOTP servers assign the IP address from a pool of addresses to each 
client. BOOTP enables diskless workstation computers to obtain an IP 
address prior to loading any advanced operating system.
CCD 
Charge Coupled Device (CCD) is a hardware which enables the scan 
job. CCD Locking mechanism is also used to hold the CCD module to 
prevent any damage when you move the machine.
Collation
Collation is a process of printing a multiple-copy job in sets. When 
collation is selected, the device prints an entire set before printing 
additional copies.
Control Panel
A control panel is a flat, typically vertical, area where control or 
monitoring instruments are displayed. They are typically found in front of 
the machine. 
Coverage 
It is the printing term used for a toner usage measurement on printing. 
For example, 5% coverage means that an A4 sided paper has about 5% 
image or text on it. So, if the paper or original has complicated images or 
lots of text on it, the coverage will be higher and at the same time, a 
toner usage will be as much as the coverage.
CSV
Comma Separated Values (CSV). A type of file format, CSV is used to 
exchange data between disparate applications. The file format, as it is 
used in Microsoft Excel, has become a pseudo standard throughout the 
industry, even among non-Microsoft platforms.
DADF
A Duplex Automatic Document Feeder (DADF) is a mechanism that will 
automatically feed and flip over an original sheet of paper so that the 
machine can scan on both sides of the paper.
Default
The value or setting that is in effect when taking a printer out of its box 
state, reset, or initialized.
DHCP
A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a client-server 
networking protocol. A DHCP server provides configuration parameters 
specific to the DHCP client host requesting, generally, information 
required by the client host to participate on an IP network. DHCP also 
provides a mechanism for allocation of IP addresses to client hosts.
DIMM
Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM), a small circuit board that holds 
memory. DIMM stores all the data within the machine like printing data, 
received fax data.
DNS
The Domain Name Server (DNS) is a system that stores information 
associated with domain names in a distributed database on networks, 
such as the Internet.
Dot Matrix Printer
A dot matrix printer refers to a type of computer printer with a print head 
that runs back and forth on the page and prints by impact, striking an 
ink-soaked cloth ribbon against the paper, much like a typewriter.
DPI
Dots Per Inch (DPI) is a measurement of resolution that is used for 
scanning and printing. Generally, higher DPI results in a higher 
resolution, more visible detail in the image, and a larger file size.
DRPD 
Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection. Distinctive Ring is a telephone 
company service which enables a user to use a single telephone line to 
answer several different telephone numbers.
Duplex
A mechanism that will automatically flip over a sheet of paper so that the 
machine can print (or scan) on both sides of the paper. A printer 
equipped with a Duplex can print double-sided of paper.
Duty Cycle
Duty cycle is the page quantity which does not affect printer 
performance for a month. Generally the printer has the lifespan limitation 
such as pages per year. The lifespan means the average capacity of 
print-outs, usually within the warranty period. For example, if the duty 
cycle is 48,000 pages per month assuming 20 working days, a printer 
limits 2,400 pages a day.
ECM
Error Correction Mode (ECM) is an optional transmission mode built into 
Class 1 fax machines or fax modems. It automatically detects and 
corrects errors in the fax transmission process that are sometimes 
caused by telephone line noise.
Emulation
Emulation is a technique of one machine obtaining the same results as 
another.
The following glossary helps you get familiar with the product by 
understanding the terminologies commonly used with printing as well 
as mentioned in this users guide.
Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals 
						

							58 _Glossary
An emulator duplicates the functions of one system with a different 
system, so that the second system behaves like the first system. 
Emulation focuses on exact reproduction of external behavior, which is 
in contrast to simulation, which concerns an abstract model of the 
system being simulated, often considering its internal state.
Ethernet
Ethernet is a frame-based computer networking technology for local 
area networks (LANs). It defines wiring and signaling for the physical 
layer, and frame formats and protocols for the media access control 
(MAC)/data link layer of the OSI model. Ethernet is mostly standardized 
as IEEE 802.3. It has become the most widespread LAN technology in 
use during the 1990s to the present.
EtherTalk
A suite of protocols developed by Apple Computer for computer 
networking. It was included in the original Macintosh (1984) and is now 
deprecated by Apple in favor of TCP/IP networking.

allow a third party device such as a coin operated device or a card 
reader. Those devices allow the pay-for-print service on your machine.
FTP
A File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a commonly used protocol for 
exchanging files over any network that supports the TCP/IP protocol 
(such as the Internet or an intranet).
Fuser Unit 
The part of a laser printer that melts the toner onto the print media. It 
consists of a hot roller and a back-up roller. After toner is transferred 
onto the paper, the fuser unit applies heat and pressure to ensure that 
the toner stays on the paper permanently, which is why paper is warm 
when it comes out of a laser printer.
Gateway
A connection between computer networks, or between a computer 
network and a telephone line. It is very popular, as it is a computer or a 
network that allows access to another computer or network.
