1 Check the interface connections at the back of the printer and at the
computer and make sure they are secure.

If the computer and printer are not directly connected (if they are con-
nected through a switching device, or network, for example), connect
the computer and printer directly.
2 Check the power connection. Avoid connecting the printer power cord
to a power outlet shared by other office equipment or machinery.
3 Make sure the Paper Size setting in the software application and print-
er driver matches the size of the media you are using. For details, refer
to your software application manual or the Windows Print Guide or the
Macintosh Print Guide.
4 If you are using Windows, check the printer driver installation and
make sure that the WPS driver is not installed on the same port as the
BJC-8500. If the WPS driver is installed on the same port as the BJC-
8500 driver, disable the WPS driver temporarily by assigning it the
FILE port, or delete the WPS driver.
