Problem 
Recommendation 
The printer prints unexpectedly 
or it prints garbage. 
• 
Make sure the printer cable is not too long.  We recommend you 
use a parallel cable that is less than 2 metres (6 1/2 feet) long. 
• 
Check if the printer cable is damaged or broken.  
• 
If you are using an interface-switching device, remove it, and 
then connect your computer directly to your printer and try again. 
• 
Check that you have chosen the appropriate printer driver as ‘Set 
as Default’. 
• 
Check that the printer is not connected to the same port that is 
also connected to a storage device or scanner. Remove all other 
devices and connect the port to the printer only. 
• 
Turn off the status monitor in the Device / Options page on the 
Advanced tab in the printer driver.  
The DL size of envelopes that 
have been creased after they 
were printed.

Put in new DL size envelopes sideways, and print again.

pages of a document.  An error 
message “PRINT OVERRUN” 
occurs. 
• 
Press the

 button to print the data that is left in the printer. 
• 
If this does not clear the error, reduce the complexity of your 
document or reduce the print resolution. 
• 
Change the following settings in the supplied Windows
®
 driver, 
and then try again.  The best combination of settings below will 
vary depending on your document.

Reduce the print resolution or reduce the complexity of your
