Common Linux problems
ProblemPossible cause and solutions
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 has 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. For instance, this could be an 
attempt to print a document when a port is 
claimed by a scanning application.
• Check if the port is not busy. Since 
functional components of MFP (printer and 
scanner) share the same I/O interface 
(port), the situation of simultaneous access 
of different “consumer” applications to the 
same port are possible. To avoid possible 
conflicts, only one of them at a time is 
allowed to gain control over the device. The 
other “consumer” will encounter “device 
busy” response. You should open ports 
configuration and select the port assigned 
to your printer. In the Selected port pane 
you can see if the port is occupied by some 
other application. If this is the case, you 
should wait for completion of the current job 
or should press Release port button, if you 
are sure that the present owner is not 
functioning properly.
• 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.
• The CUPS (Common Unix Printing System)  version distributed with SuSE Linux 9.2 
(cups-1.1.21) has a problem with ipp 
(Internet Printing Protocol) printing. Use the 
socket printing instead of ipp or install later 
version of CUPS (cups-1.1.22 or higher).The machine does not 
appear on the 
scanners list. • Check if your machine is attached to your 
computer. Make sure that it is connected 
properly via the USB port and is turned on.
• Check if the scanner driver for your 
machine is installed in your system. Open 
Unified Driver configurator, switch to 
Scanners configuration, then press 
Drivers . Make sure that driver with a name 
corresponding to your machines name is 
listed in the window. Check if the port is not 
busy. Since functional components of MFP 
(printer and scanner) share the same I/O 
interface (port), the situation of 
simultaneous access of different 
“consumer” application to the same port is 
possible. To avoid possible conflicts, only 
one of them at a time is allowed to gain 
control over the device. The other 
“consumer” will encounter “device busy” 
response. This can usually happen while 
starting scan procedure, and appropriate 
message box appears.
• To identify the source of the problem, you  should open ports configuration and select 
the port assigned to your scanner. ports 
symbol /dev/mfp0 corresponds to LP:0 
designation displayed in the scanners’ 
options, /dev/mfp1 relates to LP:1 and so 
on. USB ports start at /dev/mfp4, so 
scanner on USB:0 relates to /dev/mfp4 
respectively and so forth sequentially. In the 
Selected port pane you can see if the port 
is occupied by some other application. If 
this is the case, you should wait for 
completion of the current job or you should 
press Release port button, if you are sure 
that the present ports owner is not 
functioning properly.
The printer does not 
print PDF file correctly. 
Some parts of graphics, 
text or illustrations are 
missing. Incompatibility between the PDF file and the 
Acrobat products:
Printing the PDF file as an image may solve this 
problem. Turn on 
Print as Image from the 
Acrobat printing options.
Note: It will take longer to print when you print a 
PDF file as an image.

The machine does not 
scan. • Check if a document is loaded into the 
machine.
• Check if your machine is connected to the  computer. Make sure if it is connected 
properly if an I/O error is reported while 
scanning.
• Check if the port is not busy. Since 
functional components of MFP (printer and 
scanner) share the same I/O interface 
(port), the situation of simultaneous access 
of different “consumer” application to the 
same port is possible. To avoid possible 
conflicts, only one of them at a time is 
allowed to gain control over the device. The 
other “consumer” will encounter “device 
busy” response. This can usually happen 
while starting scan procedure, and 
appropriate message box will be displayed.
To identify the source of the problem, you 
should open ports configuration and select 
the port assigned to your scanner. port’s 
symbol /dev/mfp0 corresponds to LP:0 
designation displayed in the scanners’ 
options, /dev/mfp1 relates to LP:1 and so 
on. USB ports start at /dev/mfp4, so 
scanner on USB:0 relates to /dev/mfp4 
respectively and so forth sequentially. In the 
Selected port pane you can see if the port 
is occupied by some other application. If 
this is the case, you should wait for 
completion of the current job or should 
press the Release port button, if you are 
sure that the present port’s owner is not 
functioning properly.
I cannot scan via Gimp 
Front-end. • Check if Gimp Front-end has 
“Xsane: Device dialog.” on the “Acquire” 
menu. If not, you should install Xsane plug-
in for Gimp on the your computer. You can 
find Xsane plug-in package for Gimp on 
Linux distribution CD or Gimp home page. 
For the detail information, refer to the Help 
for Linux distribution CD or Gimp Front-end 
application. 
If you wish to use other kind of scan 
application, refer to the Help for application.
ProblemPossible cause and solutions
Common Macintosh problems  (SCX-4725FN only)
I encounter error 
“Cannot open port 
device file” when 
printing a document.Please avoid changing the 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 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 port.

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.
Some letters are not 
displayed normally 
during the Cover page 
printing. This problem is caused because Mac 
OS can not create the font during the 
Cover page printing. English alphabet 
and numbers are displayed normally at 
the Cover page.
