Common Windows problems
Horizontal 
stripes If horizontally aligned black streaks or smears 
appear:
• The toner cartridge may be installed 
improperly. Remove the cartridge and 
reinsert.
• The toner cartridge may be defective. Install a  new toner cartridge. See page 8.4.
• If the problem persists, the printer may require  repair. Contact a service representative.
Curl If the printed paper is curled or paper does not 
feed into the printer:
• Turn over the stack of paper in the tray. Also 
try rotating the paper 180° in the tray.
An unknown 
image repetitively 
appears on a 
next few sheets 
or loose toner, 
light print or 
contamination 
occurs. Your printer is probably being used at an altitude 
of 2,500 m (8,200 ft) or above.
The high altitude may affect the print quality 
such as loose toner or light imaging. You can set 
this option through 
Printer Settings Utility  or 
Printer  Tab in printer driver’s properties. Refer 
to the  Software Section  for details.
ConditionSuggested solutions
“File in Use” 
message appears 
during installation. Exit all software applications. Remove all 
software from the StartUp Group, then restart 
Windows. Reinstall the printer driver.
“Error Writing to 
LPTx” message 
appears. • Ensure that the cables are connected 
correctly and the printer is on.
• If bi-directional communication is not turned  on in the driver, it will also cause this 
message.
“General Protection 
Fault”, “Exception 
OE”, “Spool32”, or 
“Illegal Operation” 
messages appear. Close all other applications, reboot Windows, 
and try printing again.
ConditionSuggested solutions
Common PostScript problems
The following situations are PostScript language specific and may occur 
when several printer languages are being used.“Fail To Print,” “A 
printer timeout error 
occurred,” 
messages appear.
These messages may appear during printing. 
Just keep waiting until the printer finishes 
printing. If the message appears in standby 
mode or after printing has been completed, 
check the connection and/or whether an error 
has occurred.
Note
• Refer to Microsoft Windows 98/Me/NT 4.0/2000/XP(32/64 bit)/
2003 User’s Guide that came with your PC for further 
information on Windows error messages.
Note
• To receive a printed or screen displayed message when PostScript errors occur, open the Print Options window and 
click the desired selection next to the PostScript errors section.
ConditionPossible causeSuggested solutions
PostScript file 
can not be 
printed. The PostScript 
driver may not 
be installed 
correctly.• Print a configuration page 
and verify that the PostScript 
version is available for 
printing.
• Install the PostScript driver;  to installing the PS printer 
driver, see the  Software 
Section .
• If problem consists, contact a 
service representative.
“Limit Check 
Error” message 
appears. The print job 
was too 
complex.You might need to reduce the 
complexity of the page.
A PostScript 
error page 
prints. Print job may 
not be 
PostScript.Make sure that the print job is a 
PostScript job. Check to see 
whether the software 
application expected a setup or 
PostScript header file to be sent 
to the printer.
When print a 
document in 
Macintosh with 
Acrobat Reader 
6.0 or higher, 
colors print 
incorrectly. The resolution 
setting in the 
printer driver 
may not be 
matched with 
that in Acrobat 
Reader.Make sure that the resolution 
setting in your printer driver 
matches that in Acrobat 
Reader.

Common Linux problems
ConditionSuggested solutions
The printer doesn’t 
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. 
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.
Common Macintosh problems
ConditionSuggested solutions
The printer does not 
print a document from 
Acrobat Reader. Change the 
Print Method  option to Print 
as Image  when you print from Acrobat 
Reader.
The document has 
printed, but the print job 
has not disappeared 
from the spooler in Mac 
OS 10.3.2. Update your Mac OS to OS 10.3.3 or 
higher.
The printer does not 
print a document from 
Illustrator on IPP 
printing. Change the 
Data type option in the 
Adobe Illustrator print menu to  Binary.
Or, you can use Appletalk printing.

Installing Printer Software
You can install the printer software for local printing or network 
printing. To install the printer software on the computer, 
perform the appropriate installation procedure depending on 
the printer in use.
A printer driver is software that lets your computer 
communicate with your printer. The procedure to install drivers 
may differ depending on the operating system you are using.
All applications should be closed  on your PC before beginning 
installation. 
Installing Software for Local Printing
A local printer is a printer direct ly attached to your computer 
using the printer cable supplied with  your printer, such as a USB 
or parallel cable. If your printe r is attached to a network, skip 
this step and go to “Installing Software for Network Printing” on 
page 7.
You can install the printer software using the typical or custom 
method.
NOTE: If the “New Hardware Wizard” window appears during 
the installation procedure, click   in the upper right corner of 
the box to close the window, or click Cancel.
Typical Installation
This is recommended for most users. All components necessary 
for printer operations will be installed.
1Make sure that the printer is connected to your computer 
and powered on.
2Insert the supplied CD-ROM  into your CD-ROM drive.
The CD-ROM should automatically run, and an installation 
window appears.
If the installation window does not appear, click 
Start and 
then 
Run. Type X:\Setup.exe, replacing “X” with the 
letter which represents your drive and click 
OK.
3Click Next. 
• If necessary, select a language from the drop-down list.
• 
View User’s Guide: Allows you to view the User’s 
Guide. If your computer do esn’t have Adobe Acrobat, 
click on this option and it w ill automatically install Adobe 
Acrobat Reader for you.
4Select Typical installation for a local printer. Click 
Next.
