Lexmark 4800 Series - Manual (Page 123)

Make sure the cartridges are properly installed
With the front of the printer facing you, check for proper print cartridge installation. If you are using a color cartridge,
make sure it is properly installed in the right carrier. If you are using a black or photo cartridge, make sure it is properly
installed in the left carrier.
Check the USB connection
1 Check that the USB cable is connected to the computer. The USB port on the back of the computer is marked
by the USB symbol. Plug the long, flat end of the USB cable into this port.
2 Make sure that the smaller, more square end of the USB cable is plugged into the back of the printer.
3 Check that the USB cable is not damaged and that the light is on.
Close other open files before printing
Before sending a file to print, close all other open files in the program you are using. The printer prints a blank page
when too many files are open in the same program.
Characters on printout are missing or unexpected
These are possible solutions. Try one or more of the following:
Make sure the fonts are applied correctly in the program
Most programs do not print a stretched or resized font.
Make sure the TrueType font is available on the computer
The font you are trying to print may not be available in the program font selection box. Not all fonts are designed to
be printed; make sure the font is a TrueType font. See the program documentation for more information.
Make sure the document was formatted or created for the printer
Windows may substitute different fonts. Line and page breaks may change with the font. Use the program that
created the document to fix these problems, and then save the changes for the next time you print.
Colors on printout are faded or differ from colors on the screen
Check the following. When you think you have solved the problem, test the solution by sending a document to print.
Are the color and print speed settings correct?
You may need to adjust the color and print speed.
Are the print cartridges low on ink?
