DELL 2355dn User Manual

Refer to Mac OS User’s Guide that came with your computer for further information on Mac OS error messages.

“Fail To Print”, “A printer 

timeout error occurred.” 

messages appear.

These messages may appear during printing. Just keep waiting until the machine 

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.

The printer doesn’t print.

• Check if the printer driver is installed in your system. Open MFP configurator and switch 

to the Printers tab in Printers configuration window to look at the list of available printers. 

Ensure that your printer 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 printer 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 document when MFP 

port is claimed by a scanning application.

• Check if the MFP port is not busy. Since functional components of MFP (printer and 

scanner) share the same I/O interface (MFP port), the situation of simultaneous access of 

different “consumer” application to the same MFP 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. You should open MFP 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.
