7.13 <Troubleshooting>Your machine has an odd smell during initial use.The oil used to protect the fuser is evaporating.After printing about 100 color pages, there will be no more smell. It is a temporary issue.Condition Possible cause Suggested solutions Printing quality problemsIf the inside of the machine is dirty or paper has been loaded improperly, you may notice a reduction in print quality. See the table below to clear the problem. Condition Suggested solutionsLight or faded printIf a vertical white streak or faded area appears on the page:• The toner supply is low. You may be able to temporarily extend the print cartridge life. If this does not improve the print quality, install a new print cartridge.• The paper may not meet paper specifications; for example, the paper may be too moist or rough. (See "Specifications on print media" on page 4.2.)• If the entire page is light, the print resolution setting is too low or the toner save mode is on. Adjust the print resolution and turn the toner save mode off. See the help screen of the printer driver and refer to Software section, respectively.• A combination of faded or smeared defects may indicate that the print cartridge needs cleaning. Contact a service representative.• The surface of the LSU part inside the machine may be dirty. Clean the LSU, contact a service representative. Toner specks• The paper may not meet specifications; for example, the paper may be too moist or rough. (See "Specifications on print media" on page 4.2.)• The paper transfer belt may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine. Contact a service representative.• The paper path may need cleaning. Contact a service representative.DropoutsIf faded areas, generally rounded, occur randomly on the page:• A single sheet of paper may be defective. Try reprinting the job.• The moisture content of the paper is uneven or the paper has moist spots on its surface. Try a different brand of paper. (See "Specifications on print media" on page 4.2.)• The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing processes can cause some areas to reject toner. Try a different kind or brand of paper.• If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a service representative.
7.14 <Troubleshooting>White Spots White spots appear on the page:• The paper is too rough and a lot of dirt from the paper falls to the inner devices within the machine, which means the transfer belt may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine. Contact a service representative.• The paper path may need cleaning. Contact a service representative.Vertical linesIf black vertical streaks appear on the page:• The print cartridge has probably been scratched. Remove the print cartridge and install a new one.If white vertical streaks appear on the page:• Clean the inside of the machine. Contact a service representative to clean the inside of the machine.Color or Black backgroundIf the amount of background shading becomes unacceptable:• Change to a lighter weight paper. (See "Specifications on print media" on page 4.2.)• Check the environmental conditions: very dry conditions (low humidity) or a high level of humidity (higher than 80% RH) can increase the amount of background shading.• Remove the old print cartridge, and then install a new one.

Contact a service representative to clean the inside of the machine. After cleaning the inside of the machine, if you still have the same problems, install a new print cartridge of the problem color. See "Replacing the print cartridge" on page 6.4.• Parts of the machine may have toner on them. If the defects occur on the back of the page, the problem will likely correct itself after a few more pages.• The fusing assembly may be damaged. Contact a service representative.Background scatterBackground scatter results from bits of toner randomly distributed on the printed page. • The paper may be too damp. Try printing with a different batch of paper. Do not open packages of paper until necessary so that the paper does not absorb too much moisture.• If background scatter occurs on an envelope, change the printing layout to avoid printing over areas that have overlapping seams on the reverse side. Printing on seams can cause problems.• If background scatter covers the entire surface area of a printed page, adjust the print resolution through your software application or in printer properties.Misformed characters• If characters are improperly formed and producing hollow images, the paper stock may be too slick. Try different paper. (See "Specifications on print media" on page 4.2.)Page skew• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.• Check the paper type and quality. (See "Specifications on print media" on page 4.2.)• Ensure that the paper or other material is loaded correctly and the guides are not too tight or too loose against the paper stack.Condition Suggested solutions

7.16 <Troubleshooting>Common Windows problemsNoteRefer to Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista User’s Guide that came with your PC for further information on Windows error messages.An unknown image repetitively appears on the next few sheets or loose toner, light print, or contamination occurs. You machine is probably being used at an altitude of 2,500 m (8,200 ft) or above. The high altitude may affect the print quality from loose toner or light imaging. You can set this option through Printer Settings Utility or the Printer Tab in printer driver’s properties. See "Altitude Setting after Software Installation" on page 3.4.Condition Suggested solutions“File in Use” message appears during installation.Exit all software applications. Remove all software from the StartUp Group, then restart Windows. Reinstall the printer driver.“Error Writing to LPTx” message appears.• Ensure that the cables are connected correctly and the machine is on.• If bi-directional communication is not turned on in the driver, it will also cause this message.“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.Condition Suggested solutions 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.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.The 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 Device Settings 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.
7.17 <Troubleshooting>Common Linux problemsProblem Possible Cause and SolutionThe machine does not print.• Check if the printer driver is installed in your system. Open the Unified Driver configuration tool and switch to the Printers tab in the Printers configuration window to look at the list of available machines. Make sure that your machine is displayed on the list. If not, use the Add new printer wizard to set up your device.• Check if the machine has started. Open Printers configuration and select your machine on the machines list. Look at the description in the Selected printer pane. If its status contains a “(stopped)” string, please, click Start. After that, normal operation of the machine should be restored. The “stopped” status might have been activated when problems in printing occurred. • Check if your application has special print options 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 the command line parameter in the command item.• 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 a later version of CUPS (cups-1.1.22 or higher).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.Common Macintosh problemsThe machine does not print whole pages and its output is half-page printed. It is a known problem that occurs when a color machine 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 “Cannot open 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 cut off the print jobs whenever print options are changed and then try to restart the job from the beginning. Since Unified Linux Driver locks the port while printing, the abrupt termination of the driver keeps the port locked and therefore unavailable for subsequent print jobs. If this situation occurs, try to release the port. 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 sized 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.print 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.

If you set this option to Maximum, the printing speed will be high, but the printing quality will be low.•TrueType Options: This option determines what the driver tells the printer about how to image the text in your document. Select the appropriate setting according to the status of your document.-Download as Outline: When this option is selected, the driver will download any TrueType fonts that are used in your document not already stored (resident) on your printer. If, after printing a document, you find that the fonts did not print correctly, choose Download as bit image and resubmit your print job. The Download as bit image setting is often useful when printing Adobe. This feature is available only when you use the PCL printer driver.-Download as Bitmap: When this option is selected, the driver will download the font data as bitmap images. Documents with complicated fonts, such as Korean or Chinese, or various other fonts, will print faster in this setting. -Print as Graphics: When this option is selected, the driver will download any fonts as graphics. When printing documents with high graphic content and relatively few TrueType fonts, printing performance (speed) may be enhanced in this setting.•Print All Text To Black: When the Print All Text To Black option is checked, all text in your document prints solid black, regardless of the color it appears on the screen. •Print All Text To Darken: When the Print All Text To Darken option is checked, all text in your document is allowed to print darker than on a normal document.

Select the print order from the drop-down list.-Normal (1,2,3): Your printer prints all pages from the first page to the last page.-Reverse All Pages (3,2,1): Your printer prints all pages from the last page to the first page.-Print Odd Pages: Your printer prints only the odd numbered pages of the document.-Print Even Pages: Your printer prints only the even numbered pages of the document.•Use Printer Fonts: When Use Printer Fonts is checked, the printer uses the fonts that are stored in its memory (resident fonts) to print your document, rather than downloading the fonts used in your document. Because downloading fonts takes time, selecting this option can speed up your printing time. When using Printer fonts, the printer will try to match the fonts used in your document to those stored in its memory. If, however, you use fonts in your document that are very different from those resident in the printer, your printed output will appear very different from what it looks like on the screen. This feature is available only when you use the PCL printer driver.
