When a Job Is Not Performed

When a Job Is Not Performed

If you cannot execute a function, it may be that the machine is being held up by	1
another function.

If you cannot execute a function, terminate any other functions currently active, and then try executing the function again. In some cases, you can carry out another job (copier, facsimile, printer, or scanner) without canceling the current job being performed. Performing multiple functions simultaneously like this is called “Multi-accessing”.

When the Machine Does Not Operate As Wanted

Note

If the machine is capable of executing multiple functions simultaneously, specify which function should have priority in “Print Priority”. This setting is factory-preset to “Display mode”. For setting of Printing Priority Function,
