the outlet. Problems related to the printer function are described in this chapter. For troubleshooting related to
general machine use, the copier function, document filing function or the network scanner function, please read
"Troubleshooting" in the corresponding manuals.

not received. Is the interface cable correctly connected? Make sure the USB or parallel cable is correctly
connected to the machine and your computer.
For more information, consult your network
administrator.
Has the printer driver been installed correctly? Install the appropriate printer driver. (See the
"SOFTWARE SETUP GUIDE (for printer)".)
Is the printer driver correctly selected? / Has it
been configured in the network (when using
as a network printer)? Make sure that this printer is selected in the software
application software or use an appropriate utility to
check that the printer is registered on the network.
For more information, consult your network

driver correct? Correct the orientation in the printer driver.
The printed image is
cut off. An incorrect ratio has been selected. Select a suitable ratio when printing.
The edges of the

image overlap those margins? Change the print area.
Printer prints in reverse
order. Has reverse page order been selected in the
software application? Cancel the reverse order printing in the application
software.
Printer stops in the
middle of a print job. Has the tray full sensor activated and stopped

the printer driver? Ensure that the desired paper is set in a paper tray of
the printer and select "Auto Select" in the paper
selection of the printer driver.
