Problem Recommendation
The printer prints unexpectedly
or it prints garbage.
Make sure the printer cable is not too long. We recommend you
use a parallel cable that is less than 2 metres (6 1/2 feet) long.
Check if the printer cable is damaged or broken.
If you are using an interface-switching device, remove it, and
then connect your computer directly to your printer and try again.
Check that you have chosen the appropriate printer driver as ‘Set
as Default’.
Check that the printer is not connected to the same port that is
also connected to a storage device or scanner. Remove all other
devices and connect the port to the printer only.
Turn off the status monitor in the Device / Options page on the
Advanced tab in the printer driver.
The DL size of envelopes that
have been creased after they
were printed.
Put in new DL size envelopes sideways, and print again. Refer to
Printing Envelopes in Chapter 1.
The printer cannot print full
pages of a document. An error
message PRINT OVERRUN
occurs.
Press the

button to print the data that is left in the printer.
If this does not clear the error, reduce the complexity of your
document or reduce the print resolution.
Change the following settings in the supplied Windows
®
driver,
and then try again. The best combination of settings below will
vary depending on your document.
Graphics mode
TrueType mode
Use Printer TrueType Fonts
