❒ If you install the Printer Enhance Option, the DDST printer driver is disabled.
❒ When the DDST printer driver disabled, it cannot be used even if you remove
the Printer Enhance Option.
❒ If your system is Windows 2000/XP, or Windows Server 2003, installing a
printer driver by Auto Run requires Administrators permission. When you

3. Troubleshooting
Printing Problems
This section describes likely causes of and possible solutions for problems that
can occur when printing from a computer.
Problem Cause Solution
Printed images contain blots
or are patchy.
There is considerable delay
between the print start instruction and actual printing.
Settings for thick paper have
not been made when printing
on thick paper.
Processing time depends on
data volume. High volume
data, such as graphics-heavy
documents, takes longer to
process.
Select [Bypass Tray] in the [Pa-
per Source:] list on the [Paper]
tab.
Select [Thick] in the [Media
Type:] list on the [Setup] tab.
If the Data In indicator is
blinking, data has been received by the machine. Wait
for a while.
Making the following setting
on the printer driver may reduce the computer's workload.
For how to open the printing
preferences dialog box, see
“Setting Up the Printer Driver
and Canceling a Print Job”,
Printer/Scanner Reference.
Select the lower value for the
[Resolution] list on the [Quality]
tab in the printing preferences
dialog box.
If the problem cannot be solved, contact your sales or service representative.
