Client Problems
This section describes how to identify and correct the problems caused by the clients* connected to the equipment.
* One of the common examples of clients is a computer that sends a print job to the equipment and make it perform printing.
Checking the client status
Problem Description
The printing problems are caused by the printer driver settings, network settings, errors in the network connections, and
so forth. First, contact the administrator of the equipment to see if there is one of these kinds of problem, or see the
following sections:
P.80 “Printer Driver Problems”
P.82 “Network Connection Problems”
