Check the printer setup

Check that the ink cartridges, and printheads are loaded correctly. Make sure that all the
tape has been removed from the printheads.
z
Check that the top cover and printing supplies cover are closed.
z
Make sure media is loaded correctly in the tray and that the media is not jammed in the
printer.
z
Check to make sure that your printer is selected as the current or default printer and that
Pause Printing is not selected. The default printer is the one that is used if you choose
the Print command without first specifying which printer you want to use with an
application. The default printer should be the printer that you use most often.
If the printer selection is a problem, open the Printers folder in Windows and set this
printer as the default. In the Mac OS, set this printer as the default in the Chooser or the
Print Center.
Make sure that your printer is properly set up in your network environment.
z
For example, make sure that the correct printer driver is being used and that the correct
printer driver port has been set. For more information about network connections, see
or the documentation provided by your network vendors.

If the Type is set to Transparencies, or if the AutoSelect Type setting determines that you
are printing transparencies, or if you chose Best mode, then printing will take longer. If
you want these settings to be used, wait for the printer to finish. Otherwise, change the
settings in the driver and print again.
