6 - 23 TROUBLESHOOTING   

The printer prints 
unexpectedly or it prints 
incorrect characters.

■

Cancel the print job from your computer. Then, turn the printer off and on, or 
reset the printer and try your print job again. 

■

Make sure your application software is properly set up to use this printer. 
Check the printer driver settings or printer settings in your application 
software.

The computer hangs up when 
the printer starts printing, or an 
application error occurs.

Check to see that the system resources are enough (PC memory, etc.). When 
you have many applications open, the system resources of your PC will not be 
enough and will cause your PC to hang up. Close applications you are not using 
and try again.

The headers or footers appear 
when I view my document on 
the screen but do not show up 
when I print them.

Most laser printers have a restricted area that cannot be printed. Adjust the top 
and bottom margins in your document to allow for this.

Printing takes too long.

■

Color graphic images contain a large amount of data and the printer will take 
a relatively long time to complete printing. 

■

When you print in Super Fine mode, the printer will take a relatively long time 
to finish printing.

■

When the Status LED is blinking, the printer is getting ready to print. Print 
speed depends on memory size or performance of your PC and memory size 
of the printer.

The printer doesn't print in 
color.

■

The printer may be set to monochrome mode.
