You can press Enter to immediately redial, or Stop/Clear to cancel the redial operation. Scanner locked The scanner module is locked.
Condition Paper does not feed into the machine. The paper keeps jamming. Suggested solutions Printing problems • Remove any obstructions from inside the machine. • Paper has not been loaded correctly. Remove paper from the tray and reload it correctly. • There is too much paper in the tray. Remove excess paper from the tray. • The paper is too thick. Use only paper that meets the specifications required by the machine. See page 5.7.
Condition Possible cause Suggested solutions Condition Possible cause The machine prints, but the text is wrong, garbled, or incomplete. The printer cable is loose or defective. Disconnect the printer cable and reconnect. Try a print job that you have already printed successfully. If possible, attach the cable and the machine to another computer and try a print job that you know works. Finally, try a new printer cable. The wrong printer driver was selected.
Printing quality problems Condition If the inside of the machine is dirty or paper has been loaded improperly, you may notice a reduction in print quality. See the table below to clear the problem. Condition Light or faded print Vertical lines AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc Dropouts AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc If black vertical streaks appear on the page: • The drum inside the toner cartridge has probably been scratched. Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one. See page 12.4.
Condition Suggested solutions Condition Background scatter Background scatter results from bits of toner randomly distributed on the printed page. • The paper may be too damp. Try printing with a different batch of papers. Do not open packages of paper until necessary so that the paper does not absorb too much moisture. • If background scatter occurs on an envelope, change the printing layout to avoid printing over areas that have overlapping seams on the reverse side.
Condition Horizontal stripes AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc Curl Suggested solutions If horizontally aligned black streaks or smears appear: • The toner cartridge may be installed improperly. Remove the cartridge and reinsert it. • The toner cartridge may be defective. Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one. See page 12.4. • If the problem persists, the machine may require repair. Contact a service representative.
Scanning problems Condition The scanner does not work. The unit scans very slowly. Fax problems Suggested solutions Condition • 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 cable is connected properly. • Make sure that the USB cable is not defective.
Condition Suggested solutions Faxes do not store in memory. There may not be enough memory space to store the fax. If the display shows the Memory Full message, delete from memory any faxes you no longer need and then try again to store the fax. Blank areas appear at the bottom of each page or on other pages, with a small strip of text at the top. Common PostScript problems (SCX-4725FN only) The following situations are PS language specific and may occur when several printer languages are being used.
Common Linux problems Problem Possible cause and solutions 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 has started.
Problem Possible cause and solutions 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 an 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.
