Solutions

Is the power on?

Confirm the cable is securely plugged into the power outlet and
the machine.

Turn on the main power switch.

Is the machine online?

If not, press [Online] on the display panel.

Does the printer function
status indicator stay red?

If so, check the error message on the display panel and take re-
quired action.

Is there a warning status or
error message on the dis-
play panel?

If so, check the error message or warning status on the display
panel and take the required action.

Can you print a configura-
tion page?

If you cannot print a configuration page, there maybe a machine
malfunction. Contact your sales or service representative.

See p.36 “Printing the Configuration Page” for printing a configu-
ration page.

Is the interface cable con-
nected securely to the ma-
chine and computer?

Connect the interface cable securely. If it has a fastener, fasten it
securely as well.

See “Connecting the Machine”, Printer Reference 1.

Are you using the correct
interface cable?

The type of interface cable you should use depends on the com-
puter. Be sure to use the correct one. If the cable is damaged or
worn, replace it.
See “Connecting the Machine”, Printer Reference 1.

Was the interface cable
connected after the ma-
chine was turned on?

Connect the interface cable before turning on the machine.

Is the signal status satisfac-
tory when using wireless
LAN in Infrastructure
mode ?

To check signal status, press

{{{{User Tools/Counter}}}} on the display

panel, and then press [System Settings] on the display panel. On the
[Interface Settings]

tab, select [IEEE 802.11b], and then press [Wireless

LAN Signal]

. If signal quality is bad, move the machine to a location

where signals can pass or remove objects that might block signals.

Note

❒ You can check signal status only when using a wireless LAN

in Infrastructure mode.

When using wireless LAN,
is the SSID correctly set?

Confirm on the machine's display panel that the SSID is correctly
set.
