The machine prints the first couple
of pages correctly, then some
pages have text missing. „ Check the settings in your application to make sure that it is set up to work with
your machine.
„ Your computer is not recognising the machine’s input buffer’s full signal. Make
sure that you connected the interface cable correctly. (See the Quick Setup
Guide.)
The headers or footers appear
when the document displays on the
screen but they do not show up
when it is printed. There is an unprintable area on the top and bottom of the page. Adjust the top and
bottom margins in your document to allow for this.
The machine does not print on both
sides of the paper even though the
printer driver setting is Duplex. Check the paper size setting in the printer driver. You need to choose A4 size of
paper.
The machine is not printing or has
stopped printing and the machine’s
status LED is yellow. Press Job Cancel. As the machine cancels the job and clears it from the memory
it may produce an incomplete printout.

Cannot install software or print. Run the Repair MFL-Pro Suite program on the CD-ROM. This program will repair
and reinstall the software.

Try to reduce the print resolution. (See Advanced tab in the Software User’s Guide
on the CD-ROM.)
‘Unable to write to LPT1’, ‘LPT1
already in use’ or ‘DCP is Busy’
error message appears. Make sure that the machine is on (plugged into the electrical socket and the power
switch turned on) and that it is connected directly to the computer using the IEEE-
1284 bi-directional parallel cable. The cable must not go through another
peripheral device (such as a Zip Drive, external CD-ROM Drive, or switch box).
Make sure that the LCD does not show an error message.
Make sure no other device drivers, which also communicate through the parallel
port, are running automatically when you turn on the computer (such as, drivers
for Zip Drives, external CD-ROM Drive, etc.) Suggested areas to check: (Load=,
Run=command lines in the win.ini file or the Setup Group)
Check with your computer manufacturer to confirm that the computer’s parallel
port settings in the BIOS are set to support a bi-directional machine; i.e. (Parallel
Port Mode – ECP)
