Refer to the Phaser 300X Drivers and Utilities Printing

Reference for details on how to select color corrections.

Files sent to the printer during power-up do not print.

Before printing a file, wait

until the printer’s front panel displays READY. Some applications, drivers,
and spoolers report IDLE when the printer is ready to accept print jobs.

The printer receives files but does not print (serial and parallel ports only).

Do not

set the wait timeout to 0. Also, print files should not have extra characters
after the End-of-Job character (Ctrl-D). See the Phaser 300X Drivers and
Utilities Printing Reference
for information on setting timeouts and the
Ctrl-D character.

You send a file to the printer’s serial or parallel port, and the printer’s front panel
displays WAITING FOR DATA indefinitely. Another file sent to a different port
causes your computer or network interface to lock up.

Do not set the wait

timeout to 0. Also, print files should not have extra characters after
the End-of-Job character (Ctrl-D). See the Phaser 300X Drivers and Utilities
Printing Reference
for information on setting timeouts and the
Ctrl-D character.

You send a file to the printer’s serial or parallel port, and the job prints
successfully. After the job prints, the printer displays WAITING FOR DATA, then
goes into Standby mode after 2 hours. The printer doesn’t come out of Standby
mode for the next print job.

To recover, press the

TEST PRINT

button or reset

the printer. (If you reset the printer, you must send the print job again.) To
prevent this condition, do not set the wait timeout to 0. Also, print files
should not have extra characters after the End-of-File character (Ctrl-D). See
the Phaser 300X Drivers and Utilities Printing Reference for information on
setting timeouts and the Ctrl-D character.
