Paper is not fed from
the selected tray.

those set using the
display panel.

The printed image is
different from the im-
age on the computer's
display.

tions, such as en-
largement and

out might be different

The printed image is
different from the im-
age on the computer's
display.
You might have se-
lected to replace Tru-
eType fonts with
machine fonts in the
printing process.
To print an image similar to that of the comput-
er display, make settings to print TrueType
fonts as an image. See the printer driver Help.
When printing
graphics, the output
and the screen are
different.
If the printer driver is
configured to use the
graphics command,
the graphics com-
mand from the ma-
chine is used to print.
If you want to print accurately, set the printer
driver to print without using the graphics com-
mand. See the printer driver Help.
Images are printed in
the wrong orientation.
The feed orientation
you selected and the
feed orientation se-
lected in the printer
driver's option setup
might not be the
same.
Set the machine's feed orientation and the
printer driver's feed orientation accordingly.
See the printer driver Help.
