Solution: Verify that the paper guides are properly set at the edges of the paper. - Paper is loaded into the paper feed tray but does not feed into the printer. Solution: Reload the paper feed tray after fanning the paper, then press and release the Resume/FF button on the printer. - Image does not print on Envelope as selected in the print driver. Solution: Some applications have media settings which will override the settings in the print driver. Ensure that the media type is set in the application prior to printing. - Jam occurs when adding paper to tray. Solution: Do not attempt to add paper while the printer is printing; wait until it is idle. To clear the jam, press and hold the Resume/FF button on the printer for two seconds to eject the paper. - Paper does not eject completely. Solution: Load only one paper type at a time into the feed tray. ------------Fonts - Text is missing / wrong color, size or font. Solution: Ensure that the necessary fonts are properly loaded on the PC. - Text prints too small. Solution: If too many fonts are loaded on a PC running Windows '95, text may appear reduced in size on output. Unload some fonts not required for the print job. - Fonts print incorrectly from Microsoft Mail. Solution: Windows font management is responsible for the font used to print from MS Mail; font substitutions performed by the operating system may produce undesirable results; see Microsoft Knowledge Base articles Q123000 and Q86100 for more information. ------------General - "Printer not ready" message or no print received. Solution: Ensure that the green Power LED is on. If bi-directional communication between the PC and the printer is disrupted, reboot the PC and then turn the printer off and back on. - "Out of Memory" error appears on PC when trying to print. Solution: Delete all files from the C:\temp and C:\windows\temp directories; increase available RAM; use a Print Quality mode other than High Quality; close unused application windows to free up memory. - Error when attempting to Print to File. Solution: When creating a .PRN file, make sure that the file is being placed on a drive other than the A:\ drive; using Print to File onto a floppy disk is not recommended. - Job stops printing. Solution: Do not open the Print Setup window while a job is processing, either through the application or via the Control Panel; do not close the Printer Services or Spool Manager window while a print job is processing. - "Error while spooling" message appears when attempting to print. Solution: Verify that the printer is mapped to the correct local port, not a network device; close windows to free up memory on PC; ensure that only one device is mapped to the port; do not use a switchbox to connect the printer to a PC; do not use a port sharing device between the PC and printer. - Installing the print driver via the File Manager or Program Manager in Windows 3.1x causes the driver to be mapped to the wrong port. Solution: Install the driver using the Control Panel - Printers - Add option; correct the connection via the Control Panel after installing the driver. - The ink levels shown in the Printer Services window do not accurately reflect actual ink levels. Solution: Do not print with the cover open, as this can affect the ink sensing mechanism; do not replace ink cartridges before receiving a Low or Empty ink message. - Print takes too long to process. Solution: Deselect the Automatic Image Enhancement (AIE) option in the print driver (though this may affect print quality, it will reduce the amount of time needed to process the job); close the Printer Services window and/or icon between print jobs. - Print job is collated or not collated, contrary to driver selection. Solution: Some applications' Collate option will override the setting in the print driver. Ensure that the Collate option selection is consistent between the application and the driver. - Printing via DOS unsuccessful. Solution: Try mapping the printer to the LPT1 port; ensure that the Spool Manager and Printer Services windows are closed (if printing from a DOS window); in Windows 95 use Shutdown and Restart in MS-DOS Mode. ------------Image Quality - Smudges on edge of print. Solution: Load only one paper type at a time into the feed tray; increase the bottom margin of the file. - Border lines around imported images do not appear on print. Solution: Depending on how the original image was created, parts of the border may not print; if a border is desired, create one around the image using the application's lines / borders option. - Postscript fill patterns / textures do not print properly. Solution: Postscript fill patterns may not print correctly on a non-postscript printer; select a different fill pattern. - Shading of scanned images is incorrect / patterns appear in shaded areas. Solution: Scanned images originally produced using a halftone process may display an interference or moire pattern when printed due to a secondary halftone being applied by the printer; importing the image into an image processing application and changing the halftone frequency before printing can minimize the problem. - Imported graphics files do not appear on print. Solution: verify that all necessary linked objects are present prior to printing. - Part of the image is cut off. Solution: Verify that the page orientation is set properly in both the application's page setup and in the print driver; ensure that the margins (including headers and footers) for the page are within the printable area for the printer; see the User Guide for margin guidelines. - Stray dots or lines appear on print. Solution: Try Print Quality mode Fast or Normal, or try a different Halftone mode; match the media type selection in the driver to the media type being used. - Colors on output are too dark. Solution: Try using Print Type mode Auto, Photo or Graphics. - Light colored areas are missing when printing a color document in Black and White mode. Solution: Some light colors may map to white in monochrome mode; try using Print Type mode Auto, Photo or Graphics; use a darker color on the document. - Dark colored areas are black when printing in Black and White mode. Solution: Some dark colors may map to black in monochrome mode; try using Print Type mode Auto, Photo or Graphics; use a lighter color on the document. - Patterns do not appear on output or print incorrectly. Solution: Try using Print Type mode Auto, Photo or Text, or select a Halftone mode other than Fine Dither when using Print Type: Graphics. - Text appears fuzzy or blurry. Solution: Try using Print Type mode Auto, Graphics or Text; see the User Guide for recommended media types. - Text underlines do not print the same color as the text. Solution: Try using Print Type mode Photo. - Colors are the wrong shade. Solution: Experiment with the various Print Quality, Halftone, Intensity and Media options to create acceptable output. - Selecting Automatic Image Enhancement (AIE) in the print driver does not produce noticeable improvement on the output. Solution: AIE may not function on large images due to system memory limitations. Try saving images as .BMP or .TIF files, and close unnecessary applications prior to printing. - Choosing a Halftone mode of <None> does not produce the desired result. Solution: This option is effective only with Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Red,Green and Blue; other colors will not be affected. - There is no apparent difference between certain media / print modes. Solution: This is expected behavior; some print options may produce similar output depending on the types of images being used. - Changing the Intensity setting does not affect certain colors. Solution: Saturated colors (nearing 100%) may not be affected by this option. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- V) Application Notes ------------Adobe Persuasion - Multiple copies selected but not printed.
