and the printer.

quired action.

Is paper loaded?

Load paper into the paper tray or on the Bypass Tray.

See p.33 “Loading Paper and Other Media”.

Can you print a configura-
tion page?

If you cannot print a test page, it probably indicates a printer mal-
function. Contact your sales or service representative. See p.108
“List/Test Print Menu”
.

If you can print a configuration page but cannot get the printer to
print when you issue a print command from the computer, it prob-
ably means there is a problem with the computer.

Note that large or complex data takes a long time to print.

Is the interface cable con-
necting the printer to the
computer connected se-
curely?

Connect the interface cable properly. If there are any connectors or
screws, confirm that they are fastened securely.

Are you using the correct
interface cable?

The type of interface cable you should use depends on the compu-
ter. Be sure to use the correct one.

If the cable is damaged or worn, replace it with a new one.

Is the paper feed roller
clean?

Clean the paper feed roller if it is dirty.
