Solving General Printing Problems
Problem
Half of the page is
blank.
The paper keeps
jamming.
The printer prints,
but the text is
wrong, garbled, or
incomplete.
Possible Cause
The page layout is too
complex.
The page orientation
setting may be
incorrect.
The paper size and the
paper size settings do
not match.
There is too much
paper in the paper tray.
An incorrect type of
paper is being used.
An incorrect output
method is being used.
There may be debris
inside the machine.
The printer cable is
loose or defective.
The wrong printer driver
was selected.
Solution
Simplify the page layout and remove
any unnecessary graphics from the
document, if possible.
Change the page orientation in your
application.
Make sure that the paper size in the
print settings matches the paper in
the input tray.
Remove excess paper from the tray.
If printing special media, use the
manual input tray.
Use only paper that meets the
specifications required by the printer.
Media such as thick paper should not
be printed using the face-down output
tray. Use the face-up output slot
instead.
Open the front cover and remove the
debris.
Disconnect the printer cable and
reconnect it. Try a print job that you
know works. If possible, attach the
cable and printer to another computer
and try a print job that you know
works. Finally, try a new printer cable.
Check the application’s printer
selection menu to make sure that your
printer is selected.
