When Printer is Not Functioning Properly

Paper is not fed from the selected tray.

When you are using a Windows operating system, the printer driver settings override those set using the control panel. Set the desired input tray using the printer driver.

See the printer driver Help.

It takes too much time to turn on the printer.

If the printer is turned off while it is still accessing the hard disk (for example: during file deletion), the printer will require more time to power-up the next time it is turned on. To avoid this time delay, do not turn the power off while it is in operation.

It takes too much time to resume printing.

  • Large or complex data takes long time for the printer to process. If the Data In indicator is blinking, the data is being processed. Just wait until it resumes.

  • Printing takes longer to start if you are printing on OHP transparencies.

  • The printer was in the Energy Saver mode. To resume from the Energy Saver mode, the printer has to warm up, and this takes time until printing starts. To disable the Energy Saver mode, select [Off] for [Energy Saver] in the [System] menu.

  • Changing the paper feed direction may sometimes reduce the time to resume printing.

It takes too much time to complete the print job.

  • Photographs and other data intensive pages take a long time for the printer to process, so simply wait when printing such data.

    Changing the settings with printer driver may help to speed up printing.

    See the printer driver Help.

  • Large or complex data takes long time for the printer to process. If the Data In indicator is blinking, the data is being processed. Just wait until it resumes.

Network configurations you have made do not become effective.

Print a configuration page and check the network settings.
