in the machine for extended periods of

time.

Frequent copy paper
jams occur.

Fan the stack of paper, then turn it over in

the tray. Replace the paper in the tray with

a fresh supply. Check/adjust the paper

documents that use more toner.

CONDITION

SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS

The scanner does
not work.

Make sure that you place the original to be

scanned face down on the scanner glass.

There may not be enough available memory

to hold the document you want to scan. Try

the Prescan function to see if that works. Try

lowering the scan resolution rate.

Check that the USB cable is connected

properly.

Make sure that the USB cable is not

defective. Switch the cable with a known

good cable. If necessary, replace the cable.

Check that the scanner is configured

correctly. Check scan setting in the

SmarThru Configuration or the application

you want to use to make certain that the

scanner job is being sent to the correct port.

The unit scans very
slowly.

Check if the machine is printing received

data. If so, scan the document after the

received data has been printed.

Graphics are scanned more slowly than text.

Communication speed slows in scan mode

because of the large amount of memory

required to analyze and reproduce the

scanned image. Set your computer to the

ECP printer mode through BIOS setting. It

will help to increase the speed. For details

about how to set BIOS, refer to your

computer user’s guide.
