Staple Positions

When stapling a job, the position of th e staple(s) dif fers depending on three factors:

• Orientation (make sure that the Orientation setting you select

matches the actual orientation of your print job)

• Paper size of your job

• Stapler mode

Based on these three factors, the following tables illustrate where staples are inserted into the printed page.

Paper Handling

Paper Handling 3-15

3-16 Paper Handling

Hole Punch

The hole punch positions ar e constrained by th e similar settings to t he staple positions:

• Orientation

• Paper size of your job

• Hole punch mode

NOTE: If the hole punch option is selected along with the staple

option, the staple mode required rotation overrides the hole punch rotation. Therefore, the holes will appear on the same side of the paper as the staples. See the table on page 3-13 for the exact positions.

Based on these three factors, the table below illustrates where holes are inserted into the printed page.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting 7-1

Basic Troubleshooting Tips

The following are some common situations that can cause a variety of problems. Before you look for a spec ific problem, use the tips in this list.

• Check the power and cables to the DDS 50/62 and your computer.

• Check the DDS 50/62 LCD and Activity Lights for information.

• If possible, print the Configuration page from th e Functions>Print Pages menu and make sure that the settings match your configuration.

• Check the current status of the DDS 50/62.

The current status appears on the DDS 50/62 LCD. Press the RIP or Print key to see status screens for jobs that are processing and/or printing.

Look at the Status field in the Fiery Downloader or Fiery Spooler main window, or use the Status WebTool. If the DDS 50/62 is processing your job, the status message reflects this. If your print

job doesn’t ap pear in t he statu s message, another us er’ s job may b e printing before you rs, or the DDS 50/62 ma y already hav e finishe d printing your job. If the Printed queue on your DDS 50/62 is enabled, jobs that have finished printing will appear in that list in the Fiery WebSpooler and Fiery Spooler main window. If your job is waiting to print, it will appear in the list for the Print queue.

If you are printing over an IPX (Novell) network, the job may be processing on the Novell print server before it is sent to the DDS 50/62.

• Open the Fiery WebSpooler or Fiery Spooler main window and locate the name of the job you are trying to print.

This window provides information about the status of every job printed to a queue, including information about jobs that do not print becau se of PostScript error s.

7-2 Troubleshooting

General Printing Problems

If this happens: Try this:

• On the Mac OS co m put er, make sure that the correct zone is selected and that AppleTalk is active.

AppleTalk must be active. The DDS 50/62 may be in a different

zone from the one that’s selected (if your network doesn’t have zones, this is not applicable). Print the Configuration page from the Functions>Print Pages menu to view the correct AppleTalk zone.

• Choose Control Panel from the Apple menu, ope n the Network Control (or Ap pleTalk Control Panel), and make sure that you have selected EtherTalk Phase 2.

You will see icons identifying the available network types. If your Mac OS computer has built-in EtherTalk, it is EtherTalk Phase 2.

• Does the DDS 50/62 appear in the Chooser of another Mac OS computer on th e same network.

If there is another Mac OS computer nearby, check to see if the DDS 50/62 appears in the Chooser on that Mac OS computer. If the DDS 50/62 is visible from one Mac OS computer, but not

The DDS 50/62 does not appear in the Mac OS

computer’s Chooser list of printers.

from another, there may be a problem with the way the second Mac OS computer is connected to the network. Check all the cabling and other connections, and verify that the network is properly terminated. If there is a 10BaseT transceiver on the network, make sure that its green link integrity light is on. For more information about the network, refer to the documentation provided with the network hardware.

Troubleshooting

• Do other printers on the network appear in the Choos er ?

If your network includes printers other than the DDS 50/62, they should appear in the Chooser. If none of the printers appear in the Chooser list, there is most likely a problem with the way that the Mac OS computer is connected to the network. Check all of the cabling and other connections. For more information about the network, refer to the documentation provided with the network hardware.

If other printers appear in the Chooser, there may be a problem with the DDS 50/62 connection. Contact your DDS 50/62 system administrator.

• Try printing a test page from the Functions>Print Pages menu.

If you are able to print the test page, but DDS 50/62 stil l does not appear in the Chooser, contact your authorized service/support center.

Troubleshooting 7-3

If this happens: Try this:

You cannot select or view one of the Fiery WebSpooler or Fiery Spooler queues.

Printing seems to take too long.

Special paper or transparency options are grayed out.

• Have your syste m administrator enable the queue in DDS 50/62 Printer Setup. Only connections enabled in Setup are available for select i on and display in Fiery WebSpooler and Fiery Spooler.

• Print to a queue ins te ad of to t he di r ect connection.

When you print to a queue, the job is stored on the DDS 50/62 until it can be processed and printed; when you print to the direct connection, the job cannot be sent to the DDS 50/62 until the DDS 50/62 is done processing the previous job, so you must wait longer to use your computer.

• Select a tray that supports printing special paper or transparencies such as the manual feed tray.

• Did you select the DDS 50 / 62 as the current prin ter?

Before printing, you must select the DDS 50/62 as the current printer from your Windows or Mac OS computer.

• Is the DDS 50/62 visible in the Chooser on your Mac OS computer?

If not, see “The DDS 50/62 doesn’t appear in the Mac OS computer’s Chooser list of printers.”

• Try printing a test page from the Functions>Print Pages menu.

DDS 50/62 does not respond to a Print command.

7-4 Troubleshooting

If you are able to print the test page but still cannot print a file from your computer, contact your system administrator or your authorized service/support center.

• Verify that you printed to the correct queue.

View the Fiery WebSpooler or Fiery Spooler main window to see which queue you printed to. If you printed to the Hold queue, you must move your job to the Print queue in order to print it.

• If you are printing over an IPX (Novell) network, verify through PCONSOLE t hat the job was sent to the Nov el l queue and that the queue is being used by t he DDS 50/62.

• Make sure that the job does not contain a PostScript error.

In DDS 50/62 Printer Setup>PS Setup>Print up to PS error, select Yes to search for PostScript errors in the file. In Fiery WebSpooler or Fiery Spooler, check to see if the job has an error icon next to it.

If this happens: Try this:

• Cancel the job and do one of the following:

If you are printing a PostScript file:

Message requests a paper size that your do not have.

In DDS 50/62 Printer Setup>PS Setup>Convert Sizes, select Yes to convert the job to the paper size you do have. You can do this to convert between US and metric paper sizes.

Test page or other special Functions>Print Pages menu pages do not print.

If you are printing a file from an application, change the page size in the Print dialog box.

• Check the DD S 50/62 LCD.

If the LCD shows a diagnostic or error message, take the appropriate corrective action. For more information, see the

Maintenance

If the LCD is completely blank, proceed to the following step.

section.

• Shut down and restart the DDS 50/62, and when the DDS 50/62 reaches Idle, try pri nt i ng a t est page fr om the Functions>Print Pages menu.

If the test page still fails to print, contact your authorized service/support center.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting 7-5

If this happens: Try this:

• In DDS 50/62 Network Setup>Parallel Setup>Port Timeout, increase the time value.

• In DDS 50/62 Network Setup>Parallel Setup>Ignore EOF:

If you are printing ASCII format PostScript only, set to No.

If you are printing Binary format PostScript, set to Yes.

• If you print using the DOS copy command, make sure to use the /b option when printing binary files.

• Restart your Windows, enter BIOS setup, and if you have a BIOS setting for the parallel port, make sure that it is set to ECP and not to Bi-Directional, Compatible, EPP, or

any other mode.

• If you are using Windows 95, open the Syst em Properties control panel, click t he D evice Manager tab, click Ports, double-click the parallel port you are using, and make sure that the driver selected is the ECP Printer Port driver instead of the standard Printer Port, EPP Port, or any other driver.

For information about changing this setting, see your Windows 95 documentation.

• If the PostScript Printer driver that you are using lets you select bi-directional support, make sure that it is disabled.

Print settings for your job output do not match the settings you gave.

Downloader.

When you update your DDS 50/62 to new system software, you should delete any existing version of Fiery Downloader from your computer. Install the latest Fiery Downloader software from the User Software CD to insure full compatibility.

• Try printing using the “showpag e” after EPS files (Windows) or “showpage” (Mac OS) option in the Options dialog box.

This option adds a showpage PostScript language command at the end of the print job. Certain applications omit this necessary PostScript language command when they generate EPS files.

You’ ll need to select t he Append Showpage option when printing EPS files generated by these applications.

You cannot print an EPS file using Fiery Downloader.

You have problems downloadinng a font with Fiery Downloader

Extra blank page prints after a Fiery Downloader job.

If you continue having difficulties printing an EPS file with Fiery Downloader, try printing the file from the application to which it was created.

• Try printing the EPS file on the media in the manual feed tray.

• Make sure that the job foes not contain a PostScript error.

In DDS 50/62 Printer Setup>PS Setup>Print up to PS error, select Yes to search for PostScript errors in the file.

In Fiery WebSpooler or Fiery Spooler, check to see if the job has an error icon next to it.

• Make sure that Publish Direct Connection is enabled in DDS 50/62 Printer Setup.

You can print the Configuration page from the Functions>Print Pages menu to see which connections are enabled.

• Turn off the “showpage” after EPS files (Windows) or “showpage” (Mac OS0 option).
