• Paper is jammed. Clear the paper jam (see "Clearing paper jams" on page 64).
• No paper is loaded. Load paper (see "Loading paper in the tray" on page 27).
• The toner cartridge is not installed. Install the toner cartridge (see "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 53).
• Make sure the protect cover and sheets are removed from the toner cartridge (see "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 53).
If a system error occurs, contact your service representative.
The connection cable between the computer and
the machine is not connected properly. Disconnect the machine cable and reconnect it (see "Rear view" on page 18).
The connection cable between the computer and
the machine is defective. If possible, attach the cable to another computer that is working properly and print a job.
You can also try using a different machine cable.
The port setting is incorrect. Check the Windows printer settings to make sure that the print job is sent to the correct
port. If the computer has more than one port, make sure that the machine is attached to
the correct one.
