Troubleshooting 289 Printing problems Condition The machine does not print. Possible cause Suggested solutions The machine may be configured incorrectly. Check the Printing Preferences to ensure that all of the print settings are correct. The printer driver may be incorrectly installed. Uninstall and reinstall the machine’s driver. The machine is malfunctioning. Check the display message on the control panel to see if the machine is indicating a system error. Contact a service representative. The document size is so big that the hard disk space of the computer is insufficient to access the print job. Get more hard disk space and print the document again. The output tray is full. Once the paper is removed from the output tray, the machine resumes printing. The machine selects print materials from the wrong paper source. The paper option that was selected in the Printing Preferences may be incorrect. For many software applications, the paper source selection is found under the Paper tab within the Printing Preferences (see "Opening printing preferences" on page 56). Select the correct paper source. See the printer driver help screen (see "Using help" on page 57). A print job is extremely slow. The job may be very complex. Reduce the complexity of the page or try adjusting the print quality settings. Half the page is blank. The page orientation setting may be incorrect. Change the page orientation in your application (see "Opening printing preferences" on page 56). See the printer driver help screen (see "Using help" on page 57). The paper size and the paper size settings do not match. Ensure that the paper size in the printer driver settings matches the paper in the tray. The machine cable is loose or defective. Disconnect the machine cable and reconnect. Try a print job that you have already printed successfully. If possible, attach the cable and the machine to another computer that you know works and try a print job. Finally, try a new machine cable. The machine prints, but the text is wrong, garbled, or incomplete. Or, ensure that the paper size in the printer driver settings matches the paper selection in the software application settings you use (see "Opening printing preferences" on page 56). 6. Troubleshooting 290 Printing problems Condition Pages print, but they are blank. Possible cause Suggested solutions The wrong printer driver was selected. Check the application’s printer selection menu to ensure that your machine is selected. The software application is malfunctioning. Try printing a job from another application. The operating system is malfunctioning. Exit Windows and reboot the computer. Turn the machine off and back on again. The toner cartridge is defective or out of toner. Redistribute the toner, if necessary. If necessary, replace the toner cartridge. • See "Redistributing toner" on page 76. • See "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 78.

The machine does not print PDF files correctly. Some parts of graphics, text, or illustrations are missing. 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. The print quality of photos is not good. Images are not clear. The resolution of the photo is very low. Reduce the photo size. If you increase the photo size in the software application, the resolution will be reduced. Before printing, the machine emits vapor near the output tray. Using damp paper can cause vapor during printing. This is not a problem. Just keep printing. It will take longer to print when you print a PDF file as an image. 6. Troubleshooting 291 Printing problems Condition Possible cause Suggested solutions The machine does not print special-sized paper, such as billing paper. Paper size and paper size setting do not match. Set the correct paper size in the Custom in Paper tab in Printing Preferences (see "Opening printing preferences" on page 56). The printed billing paper is curled. The paper type setting does not match. Change the printer option and try again. Go to Printing Preferences, click Paper tab, and set type to Thick (see "Opening printing preferences" on page 56). 6. Troubleshooting 292 Printing quality problems If the inside of the machine is dirty or paper has been loaded improperly, there might be a reduction in print quality. See the table below to clear the problem. Condition Light or faded print Suggested solutions • If a vertical white streak or faded area appears on the page, the toner supply is low. Install a new toner cartridge (see "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 78). • The paper may not meet paper specifications; for example, the paper may be too moist or rough. • 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. • A combination of faded or smeared defects may indicate that the toner cartridge needs cleaning. Clean the inside of your machine (see "Cleaning the machine" on page 82). • The surface of the LSU part inside the machine may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine (see "Cleaning the machine" on page 82). If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a service representative. The top half of the paper is printed lighter than the rest of the paper The toner might not adhere properly to this type of paper. • Change the printer option and try again. Go to Printing Preferences, click the Paper tab, and set the paper type to Recycled (see "Opening printing preferences" on page 56). 6. Troubleshooting 293 Printing quality problems Condition Toner specks Suggested solutions • The paper may not meet specifications; for example, the paper may be too moist or rough. • The transfer roller may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine (see "Cleaning the machine" on page 82). A aB bC c A aB bC c A aB bC c A aB bC c A aB bC c Dropouts • The paper path may need cleaning.

Clean the inside of your machine (see "Cleaning the machine" on page 82). • The paper path may need cleaning. Clean the inside of your machine (see "Cleaning the machine" on page 82). If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a service representative. 6. Troubleshooting 294 Printing quality problems Condition Vertical lines Suggested solutions If black vertical streaks appear on the page: • The surface (drum part) of the toner cartridge inside the machine has probably been scratched. Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one (see "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 78). If white vertical streaks appear on the page: • The surface of the LSU part inside the machine may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine (see "Cleaning the machine" on page 82). If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a service representative. Black or color background If the amount of background shading becomes unacceptable: • Change to a lighter weight paper. • Check the environmental conditions: very dry conditions or a high level of humidity (higher than 80% RH) can increase the amount of background shading. • Remove the old toner cartridge and install a new one (see "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 78). • Thoroughly redistribute the toner (see "Redistributing toner" on page 76). Toner smear • Clean the inside of the machine (see "Cleaning the machine" on page 82). • Check the paper type and quality. • Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one (see "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 78). 6. Troubleshooting 295 Printing quality problems Condition Vertical repetitive defects Suggested solutions If marks repeatedly appear on the printed side of the page at even intervals: • The toner cartridge may be damaged. If you still have the same problem, remove the toner cartridge and, install a new one (see "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 78). • 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 scatter Background 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. Or select Thick from the Printing Preferences window (see "Opening printing preferences" on page 56). • If background scatter covers the entire surface area of a printed page, adjust the print resolution through your software application or in Printing Preferences (see "Opening printing preferences" on page 56). Ensure the correct paper type is selected. For example: If Thicker Paper is selected, but Plain Paper actually used, an overcharging can occur causing this copy quality problem. • If you are using a new toner cartridge, redistribute the toner first (see "Redistributing toner" on page 76). Toner particles are around bold characters or pictures The toner might not adhere properly to this type of paper. • Change the printer option and try again. Go to Printing Preferences, click the Paper tab, and set the paper type to Recycled (see "Opening printing preferences" on page 56). • Ensure the correct paper type is selected. For example: If Thicker Paper is selected, but Plain Paper actually used, an overcharging can occur causing this copy quality problem. 6. Troubleshooting 296 Printing quality problems Condition Suggested solutions Misformed characters • If characters are improperly formed and producing hollow images, the paper stock may be too slick. Try different paper. Page skew • Ensure that the paper is loaded properly. A aBb A aBb C A aBb C A aBb C A aBb C c Cc Curl or wave • Check the paper type and quality. • Ensure that the guides are not too tight or too loose against the paper stack. • Ensure that the paper is loaded properly. • Check the paper type and quality. Both high temperature and humidity can cause paper curl. • Turn the stack of paper over in the tray. Also try rotating the paper 180° in the tray. 6. Troubleshooting 297 Printing quality problems Condition Wrinkles or creases Suggested solutions • Ensure that the paper is loaded properly. • Check the paper type and quality. • Turn the stack of paper over in the tray. Also try rotating the paper 180° in the tray. Back of printouts are dirty • Check for leaking toner. Clean the inside of the machine (see "Cleaning the machine" on page 82).

If the problem persists, the machine may require repair. Contact a service representative. Character voids Character voids are white areas within parts of characters that should be solid black: • You may be printing on the wrong surface of the paper. Remove the paper and turn it around. Horizontal stripes • The paper may not meet paper specifications. If horizontally aligned black streaks or smears appear: • The toner cartridge may be installed improperly. Remove the cartridge and reinsert it. • The toner cartridge may be defective. Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one (see "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 78). If the problem persists, the machine may require repairing. Contact a service representative. 6. Troubleshooting 299 Printing quality problems Condition Curl Suggested solutions If the printed paper is curled or paper does not feed into the machine: • Turn the stack of paper over in the tray. Also try rotating the paper 180° in the tray. • Change the printer’s paper option and try again. Go to Printing Preferences, click the Paper tab, and set type to Thin (see "Opening printing preferences" on page 56). • An unknown image repetitively appears on a few sheets Your machine is probably being used at an altitude of 1,000 m (3,281 ft) or above. The high altitude may affect the print quality, such as loose toner or light imaging. Change the altitude setting for your machine (see "Altitude adjustment" on page 221). • Loose toner • Light print or contamination occurs 6. Troubleshooting 300 Copying problems Condition Suggested solutions Copies are too light or too dark. Adjust the darkness in copy feature to lighten or darken the backgrounds of copies (see "Changing the settings for each copy" on page 61). Smears, lines, marks, or spots appear on copies. • If the defects are on the original, adjust darkness in copy feature to lighten the background of your copies. Copy image is skewed. • Ensure that the original is aligned with the registration guide. • If there are no defects on the original, clean the scan unit (see "Cleaning the scan unit" on page 86). • The transfer roller may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine (see "Cleaning the machine" on page 82). Blank copies print out. Ensure that the original is face down on the scanner glass or face up in the document feeder. If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a service representative. Image rubs off the copy easily. • Replace the paper in the tray with paper from a new package. • In high humidity areas, do not leave paper in the machine for extended periods of time. Frequent copy paper jams occur. • Fan the paper, then turn it over in the tray. Replace the paper in the tray with a fresh supply. Check/adjust the paper guides, if necessary. • Ensure that the paper is the proper type and weight (see "Print media specifications" on page 110). • Check for copy paper or pieces of copy paper remaining in the machine after a paper jam has been cleared. Toner cartridge produces fewer copies than expected before running out of toner. • Your originals may contain pictures, solids, or heavy lines. For example, your originals may be forms, newsletters, books, or other documents that use more toner. • The scanner lid may be left open while copies are being made. • Turn the machine off and back on. 6. Troubleshooting 301 Scanning problems Condition The scanner does not work. Suggested solutions • Make sure that you place the original to be scanned face down on the scanner glass, or face up in the document feeder (see "Loading originals" on page 51). • There may not be enough available memory to hold the document you want to scan. Try the Prescan function to see if that works. Try lowering the scan resolution rate. • Check that the machine printer cable is connected properly. • Make sure that the machine printer cable is not defective. Switch the printer cable with a known good cable. If necessary, replace the printer cable. • Check that the scanner is configured correctly. Check scan setting in the SmarThru Office or the application you want to use to make certain that the scanner job is being sent to the correct port (for example, USB001). The unit scans very slowly. • Check if the machine is printing received data. If so, scan the document after the received data has been printed. • Graphics are scanned more slowly than text. • Communication speed slows in scan mode because of the large amount of memory required to analyze and reproduce the scanned image. Set your computer to the ECP printer mode through BIOS setting. It will help to increase the speed. For details about how to set BIOS, refer to your computer user’s guide. 6. Troubleshooting 302 Scanning problems Condition Suggested solutions Message appears on your computer screen: • There may be a copying or printing job in progress. Try your job again when that job is finished. • Device can’t be set to the H/W mode you want. • The machine printer cable may be improperly connected or the power may be off. • Port is being used by another program. • Ensure that the machine is properly connected and the power is on, then restart your computer. • Port is disabled. • The selected port is currently being used. Restart your computer and try again. • The scanner driver is not installed or the operating environment is not set up properly. • The USB cable may be improperly connected or the power may be off. • Scanner is busy receiving or printing data. When the current job is completed, try again. • Invalid handle. • Scanning has failed. 6. Troubleshooting 303 Faxing problems Condition Suggested solutions The machine is not working, there is no display, or the buttons are not working. • Unplug the power cord and plug it in again. No dial tone. • Check that the phone line is properly connected (see "Rear view" on page 24). • Ensure that there is power being supplied to the electrical outlet. • Ensure that the power is turned on. • Check that the phone socket on the wall is working by plugging in another phone. The numbers stored in memory do not dial correctly. Make sure that the numbers are stored in memory correctly. To check that, print an address book list. The original does not feed into the machine. • Make sure that the paper is not wrinkled and you are inserting it in correctly. Check that the original is the right size, not too thick or thin. • Make sure that the document feeder is firmly closed. • The document feeder rubber pad may need to be replaced. Contact a service representative (see "Available maintenance parts" on page 73). Faxes are not received automatically. • The receiving mode should be set to fax (see "Changing the receive modes" on page 260). • Make sure that there is paper in the tray (see "Print media specifications" on page 110). • Check to see if the display shows any error message. If it does, clear the problem. The machine does not send. • Make sure that the original is loaded in the document feeder or on the scanner glass. • Check the fax machine you are sending to, to see if it can receive your fax. The incoming fax has blank spaces or is of poor-quality. • The fax machine sending you the fax may be faulty. • A noisy phone line can cause line errors. • Check your machine by making a copy. • A toner cartridge has almost reached its estimated cartridge life. Replace the toner cartridge (see "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 78). 6. Troubleshooting 304 Faxing problems Condition Suggested solutions Some of the words on an incoming fax are stretched. The fax machine sending the fax had a temporary document jam. There are lines on the originals you sent. Check your scan unit for marks and clean it (see "Cleaning the scan unit" on page 86). The machine dials a number, but the connection with the other fax machine fails. The other fax machine may be turned off, out of paper, or cannot answer incoming calls. Speak with the other machine operator and ask them to solve the problem on their side. Faxes do not store in memory. There may not be enough memory space to store the fax. If the display indicating the memory status shows, delete any faxes you no longer need from the memory, and then try to store the fax again. Call for service. Blank areas appear at the bottom of each page or on other pages, with a small strip of text at the top. You may have chosen the wrong paper settings in the user option setting. Check the paper size and type again. 6. Troubleshooting 305 Operating system problems Common Windows problems 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. “General Protection Fault”, “Exception OE”, “Spool 32”, or “Illegal Operation” messages appear. Close all other applications, reboot Windows and try printing again. “Fail To Print”, “A printer timeout error occurred” message appear. These messages may appear during printing. Just keep waiting until the machine finishes printing. If the message appears in ready mode or after printing has completed, check the connection and/or whether an error has occurred. Refer to the Microsoft Windows User’s Guide that came with your computer for further information on Windows error messages. 6. Troubleshooting 306 Operating system problems Common Mac problems Condition The machine does not print PDF files correctly. Some parts of graphics, text, or illustrations are missing. Suggested solutions Printing the PDF file as an image may enable the file to print. Turn on Print As Image from the Acrobat printing options. It will take longer to print when you print a PDF file as an image. Some letters are not displayed normally during cover page printing. Mac OS cannot create the font while printing the cover page. The English alphabet and numbers are displayed normally on the cover page. When printing a document in Mac with Acrobat Reader 6.0 or higher, colors print incorrectly. Make sure that the resolution setting in your machine driver matches the one in Acrobat Reader. Refer to the Mac User’s Guide that came with your computer for further information on Mac error messages. 6. Troubleshooting 307 Operating system problems Common Linux problems Condition The machine does not print. Suggested solutions • Check if the printer driver is installed in your system. Open Unified Driver Configurator 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, open Add new printer wizard to set up your device. • Check if the machine is started. Open Printers configuration and select your machine from the printers list. Look at the description in the Selected printer pane. If its status contains Stopped, press the Start button. Normal operation of the machine should be restored. The “stopped” status might be activated when some problems in printing occur. • 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. 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 output is printed on half the page. 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 has been 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. 6. Troubleshooting 308 Operating system problems Condition I cannot scan via Gimp Frontend. Suggested solutions Check if Gimp Front-end has Xsane:Device dialog. on the Acquire menu. If not, you should install Xsane plug-in for Gimp on the your computer. You can find Xsane plug-in package for Gimp on Linux distribution CD or Gimp home page. For the detailed information, refer to the Help for Linux distribution CD or Gimp Front-end application. If you wish to use another kind of scan application, refer to application’s Help. “Cannot open port device file” error message appears when printing a document. Avoid changing print job parameters (e.q., via LPR GUI) 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 the port while printing, the abrupt termination of the driver keeps the port locked and unavailable for subsequent print jobs. If this situation occurs, try to release the port by selecting Release port in the Port configuration window. The machine does not appear on the scanners list. • Ensure your machine is attached to your computer, connected properly via the USB port, and is turned on. • Ensure the scanner driver for your machine is installed in your system. Open Unified Linux Driver configurator, switch to Scanners configuration, then press Drivers. Make sure that driver with a name corresponding to your machine's name is listed in the window. • Ensure the port is not busy. Since functional components of machine (printer and scanner) share the same I/O interface (port), the situation of simultaneous access of different user applications to the same port is possible. To avoid possible conflicts, only one of them at a time is allowed to gain control over the device. The other user will encounter “device busy” response. This usually happens when starting a scan procedure. An appropriate message box appears. To identify the source of the problem, open the Ports configuration and select the port assigned to your scanner, port's symbol / dev/mfp0 corresponds to LP:0 designation displayed in the scanners’ options, /dev/mfp1 relates to LP:1, and so on. USB ports start at /dev/mfp4, so scanner on USB:0 relates to /dev/mfp4 respectively and so forth sequentially. In the Selected port pane, you can see if the port is occupied by another application. If this is the case, you should either wait for completion of the current job or press the Release port button, if you are sure that the present port application is not functioning properly. The machine does not scan. • Ensure a document is loaded into the machine, ensure your machine is connected to the computer. • If there is an I/O error while scanning. 6. Troubleshooting 309 Operating system problems Refer to the Linux User’s Guide that came with your computer for further information on Linux error messages. Common PostScript problems The following situations are PS language specific and may occur when several printer languages are used. Problem The PostScript file cannot be printed Possible cause The PostScript driver may not be installed correctly. Solution • Install the PostScript driver (see "Software Installation" on page 134). • 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 report prints 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 Options tab, and set the tray option. When printing a document in Mac 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.
