Troubleshooting the printer

When mismatches occur
Mismatches result from differences in requested ribbon type, media
type, or media size.
Ribbon type mismatch
If the print job specifies a ribbon type that is not loaded, a mismatch
occurs. Ribbon mismatches result from:
•
Lamination differences (for example, XtraLife ribbon is requested but
is not loaded). For this situation, you can press Print to print the job
with the currently loaded ribbon.
•
Image size differences (for example, a large image size is requested
but oversize ribbon is not loaded). For this situation, you must change
the ribbon or press Cancel to cancel the job.
•
Ribbon color differences (for example, black-only printing is requested
but a color ribbon is loaded). For these situations, you must change
the ribbon or press Cancel to cancel the job.
Receiver type mismatch
If the print job specifies a media type that is not loaded (for example,
paper is requested but transparency material is loaded), a mismatch
occurs. You have three choices:
•
Load the correct media type
•
Press Print to override the error without changing media
IMPORTANT: Printing without loading the correct media type may
result in poor color reproduction.
•
Press Cancel to cancel the job
Receiver size mismatch
If the print job specifies a media size that is not loaded, a mismatch
occurs. Size mismatches are of two types:
•
The image size will fit on the loaded media. You can load the correct
size or print on the currently loaded media
•
The image size is larger than the loaded media. Change the media or
cancel the job.
