Remove the cartridge and reinsert it. • The toner cartridge may be defective. Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one. See page 13.5.
Scanning problems Condition Suggested solutions The scanner does not work. • Make sure that you place the original to be scanned face down on the scanner glass, or face up in the ADF. • There may not be enough available memory to hold the document you want to scan. Try the Prescan function to see if that works. Try lowering the scan resolution rate. • Check that the USB or parallel cable is connected properly. • Make sure that the USB or parallel cable is not defective.
Network Scan problems Condition Condition Suggested solutions I cannot find a scanned image file. You can check the scanned file’s destination in the Advanced page in the Network Scan program’s Properties screen. I cannot find the scanned image file after scanning. • Check if the scanned file’s application is on your computer.
Common Windows problems Condition Suggested solutions “File in Use” message appears during installation. Exit all software applications. Remove all software from the StartUp Group, then restart Windows. Reinstall the printer driver. “Error Writing to LPTx” message appears. • Ensure that the cables are connected correctly, the machine is on. • If bi-directional communication is not turned on in the driver, it will also cause this message.
Common Linux problems Problem Possible Cause and Solution The machine does not print • Check if the printer driver is installed in your system. Open Unified Driver configurator and switch to the Printers tab in Printers configuration window to look at the list of available printers. Make sure that your machine is displayed on the list. If not, please, invoke Add new printer wizard to set up your device. • Check if the printer is started.
Problem Possible Cause and Solution The machine does not scan • Check if a document is loaded into the machine. • Check if your machine is connected to the computer. Make sure if it is connected properly if I/O error is reported while scanning. • Check if the port is not busy. Since functional components of MFP (printer and scanner) share the same I/O interface (port), the situation of simultaneous access of different “consumer” application to the same port is possible.
