print.

system error. Contact a service representative.

space of the computer is insufficient to access the
print job.
Get more hard disk space and print the document again.

materials from the wrong
paper source.

within the Printing Preferences. Select the correct paper source. See the printer driver
help screen.

Half the page is blank. The page orientation setting may be incorrect. Change the page orientation in your application. See the printer driver help screen.

match.

garbled, or incomplete.
