Troubleshooting 2 Problem Causes and Solutions When using Windows 95/98/Me, Windows 2000/XP, or Windows NT 4.0, either combined printing or booklet print does not come out as expected. Make sure the application's paper size and orientation settings match those of the printer driver. If a different paper size and orientation are set, select the same size and orientation. When using Windows 95/98/Me, Windows 2000/XP, or Windows NT 4.0, Auto Reduce/Enlarge print does not come out as expected.
Other Printing Problems Problem It takes a long time to complete a print job. Causes and Solutions Photographs and other data intensive pages take a long time for the machine to process, so simply wait when printing such data. Changing the following settings with the printer driver may help speed up printing: • PCL 6/5e Select the lowest value for [Resolution] on the [Print Quality] tab in the printer properties dialog box.
Troubleshooting Problem Causes and Solutions It takes too much time to resume printing. The data is so large or complex that it takes time to process. If the Data In indicator is blinking, data is being processed. Simply wait until printing resumes. The machine was in Energy Saver mode. To resume from Energy Saver mode, it has to warm up, and this takes time. See General Settings Guide. Paper is not fed from the selected tray.
