7.9 <Troubleshooting>NoteRefer to Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista User’s Guide that came with your PC for further information on Windows error messages.Common PostScript problemsThe following situations are PS language specific and may occur when several printer languages are being used.NoteTo receive a printed or screen-displayed message when PostScript errors occur, open the Print Options window and click the desired selection next to the PostScript errors section.“General Protection Fault”, “Exception OE”, “Spool32”, or “Illegal Operation” messages appear.Close all other applications, reboot Windows and try printing again.“Fail To Print”, “A machine 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.Problem Possible Cause SolutionPostScript file cannot be printed.The PostScript driver may not be installed correctly.• Install the PostScript driver, referring to Software section.• Print a configuration page and verify that the PS version is available for printing.• If the problem persists, contact a service representative.“Limit Check Error” message appears.The print job was too complex.You might need to reduce the complexity of the page or install more memory.A PostScript error page prints.The print job may not be PostScript.Make sure that the print job is a PostScript job. Check to see whether the software application expected a setup or PostScript header file to be sent to the machine.Condition Suggested solutionsCommon Linux problemsThe optional tray is not selected in the driver.The printer driver has not been configured to recognize the optional tray.Open the PostScript driver properties, select the DeviceSettings tab, and set the Tray option of the Installable Options section to Installed.When printing a document in Macintosh with Acrobat Reader 6.0 or higher, colors print incorrectly.The resolution setting in the printer driver may not be matched with the one in Acrobat Reader.Make sure that the resolution setting in your printer driver matches the one in Acrobat Reader.Problem Possible Cause and SolutionThe printer 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 is 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. • 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.Problem Possible Cause Solution
7.10 <Troubleshooting>Some color images come out all black.This is a known bug in Ghostscript (until GNU Ghostscript version 7.05) when the base color space of the document is indexed color space and it is converted through CIE color space. Because Postscript uses CIE color space for Color Matching System, you should upgrade Ghostscript on your system to at least GNU Ghostscript version 7.06 or later. You can find recent Ghostscript versions at www.ghostscript.com.Some color images come out in unexpected color.This is a known bug in Ghostscript (until GNU Ghostscript version 7.xx) when the base color space of the document is indexed RGB color space and it is converted through CIE color space. Because Postscript uses CIE color space for Color Matching System, you should upgrade Ghostscript on your system to at least GNU Ghostscript version 8.xx or later. You can find recent Ghostscript versions at www.ghostscript.com.The machine does not print whole pages and its output is half page printed.It is a known problem that occurs when a color printer is used on version 8.51 or earlier of Ghostscript, 64-bit Linux OS, and reported to bugs.ghostscript.com as Ghostscript Bug 688252.The problem is solved in AFPL Ghostscript v. 8.52 or above. Download the latest version of AFPL Ghostscript from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ghostscript/ and install it to solve this problem.I encounter error “Unable to open mfp port device file!” when printing a document.Please avoid changing 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 mfp 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 mfp port.Problem Possible Cause and SolutionCommon Macintosh problemsWhen printing a document over the network in SuSE 9.2, the printer does not print.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).Problem Suggested solutionsPDF file does not print correctly-some parts are missing in the graphics, text or illustrations.Incompatibility between the PDF file and the Acrobat products.Printing the PDF file as an image may enable the file to print. 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 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 the Mac OS cannot find the font during the cover page printing. English alphabet and numbers are displayed normally on the cover page.Some fonts are not printed properly in the Adobe Illustrator program.Those fonts may not supported by your machine. Start the Adobe Illustrator program, click File > Print > Illustratortab. Then, check Force Fonts to Download, and try again.Problem Possible Cause and Solution

11.1 <Glossary>11 GlossaryBOOTPIt stands for Bootstrap Protocol, a network protocol used by a network client to obtain its IP address automatically. This is usually done in the bootstrap process of computers or operating systems running on them. The BOOTP servers assign the IP address from a pool of addresses to each client. Control PanelA control panel is a flat area where control or monitoring instruments are displayed. They are typically found in top or front of the machine. CoverageThis is the printing term used for toner usage measurement on printing and generally used as 5% coverage. 5% coverage means that an A4 sided paper has about 5% image or text on it. So, if the paper or original has complicated images or lots of text on it, the coverage will be over 5% and at the same time, toner usage will be as much as the coverage.DefaultThe first set values.DHCPA Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a client-server networking protocol. A DHCP server provides configuration parameters specific to the DHCP client host requesting, generally, information required by the client host to participate on an IP network.DIMMDual Inline Memory Module, a small circuit board that holds memory. DIMM stores all the data within the machine like printing data, received fax data, or scanned data.DNSThe Domain Name Server (DNS) is a system that stores information associated with domain names in a distributed database on networks. DPIThis is the measurement of resolution which is used for printing or scanning. Generally, more dots per inch result in a higher resolution, more visible detail in the image, and a larger file size. DuplexThis is a mechanism which automatically flips over a sheet of paper so that the machine can print (or scan) on both sides of the paper. A printer equipped with a Duplex can print double-sided. Duty CycleDuty cycle is the page quantity which does not affect printer performance for a month. Generally the printer has the lifespan limitation such as pages per year. The lifespan means the average capacity of print-outs, usually within the warranty period. For example, if the duty cycle is 48,000 pages per month assuming 20 working days, a printer limits 2,400 pages a day, which is not small amount.EthernetEthernet is a frame-based computer networking technology for local area networks (LANs). It defines wiring and signaling for the physical layer, and frame formats and protocols for the media access control (MAC)/data link layer of the OSI model. It has become the most widespread LAN technology in use presently.Fuser Unit This is the part of a laser printer that melts the toner onto the print media. It consists of two hot rollers. After toner is transferred onto the paper, the fuser unit applies heat and pressure to ensure that the toner stays on the paper permanently, which is why paper is warm when it comes out of a laser printer.GatewayThis is a connection between computer networks, or between a computer network and a telephone line. And it is very popular, as it is a computer or a network that allows access to another computer or network.GrayscaleShades of gray that represent light and dark portions of an image when color images are converted to grayscale; colors are represented by various shades of gray.HalftoneThis is an image type that simulates grayscale by varying the number of dots. Highly colored areas consist of a large number of dots, while lighter areas consist of a smaller number of dots.IntranetThis is a private network that uses Internet Protocols, network connectivity, and possibly the public telecommunication system to securely share part of an organization's information or operations with its employees. Sometimes the term refers only to the most visible service, the internal website.IP addressAn Internet Protocol address (IP address) is a unique number that devices use in order to identify and communicate with each other on a network utilizing the Internet Protocol standard (IP).IPMThe Images Per Minute.
11.2 <Glossary>ISOThe International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an international standard-setting body composed of representatives from national standards bodies. It produces world-wide industrial and commercial standards.LEDA light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that indicates the status of a machine. Print MediaMedia such as papers, envelopes, labels, and transparencies which can be used on a printer, a scanner, a fax or, a copier. OPC DrumA mechanism that makes a virtual image for print using a laser beam emitted from a laser printer, and it is usually green or gray-colored and cylinder-shaped. An exposing unit of a drum is slowly worn away by its usage of the printer, and it should be replaced appropriately since it becomes scratched from grit in paper.PDFPortable Document Format (PDF) is a proprietary file format developed by Adobe Systems for representing two-dimensional documents in a device-independent and resolution-independent format.PostScriptPostScript (PS) is a page description language and programming language used primarily in the electronic and desktop publishing areas, and that is run in an interpreter to generate an image.PPMPages Per Minute. PPM shows the printer's speed, how many pages a printer can actually print per minute.PRN fileAn interface for a device driver, this allows software to interact with the device driver using standard input/output system calls, which simplifies many tasks. ProtocolThis is a convention or standard that controls or enables the connection, communication, and data transfer between two computing endpoints.PSSee PostScript.ResolutionThe sharpness of an image, measured in dots per inch (dpi). The higher the dpi, the greater the resolution.Subnet Mask A bitmask used to tell how many bits in an octet(s) identify the subnetwork, and how many bits provide room for host addresses. TCP/IPThe Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP). It is the set of communications protocols that implement the protocol stack on which the Internet and most commercial networks run.toner cartridgeIt is a kind of bottle within a machine like a printer which contains toner. Toner is a powder used in laser printers and photocopiers which forms the text and images on the printed paper. Toner can be melted by the heat of the fuser, causing it to bind to the fibers in the paper.URLUniform Resource Locator (URL) is the global address of documents and resources on the Internet. The first part of the address indicates what protocol to use, the second part specifies the IP address or the domain name where the resource is located.USBUniversal serial bus (USB) is a standard that was developed by the USB Implementers Forum, Inc., to connect computers and peripherals. Unlike the parallel port, USB is designed to concurrently connect a single computer USB port to multiple peripherals.
