Note
If you cannot make copies as you want because of paper type, paper size, or
paper capacity problems, use recommended paper. See “Copy Paper”, About This Machine.
Using curled paper often causes misfeeds, soiled paper edges, or slipped po-
sitions while performing staple or stack printing. When using curled paper, take the stiffness out of the paper with your hands to straighten out the curl, or load the paper up side down. Also, to prevent paper from curling, lay pa­per on a flat surface, and do not lean it against the wall.

When a Job is Not Performed

If you cannot execute a function, it may be that the machine is being held up by another function.
If you cannot execute a function, terminate any other functions currently active, and then try executing the function again. In certain cases, you can carry out an­other job (copier, document server, printer, scanner) without canceling the cur­rent job being performed. Performing multiple functions simultaneously like this is called “Multi-accessing”.

Function Compatibility
The chart shows Function Compatibility when print priority is set to “Inter­leave”. See “Print Priority”, General Settings Guide.

When a Job is Not Performed
Note
Stapling cannot be used at the same time for multiple functions.
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, see “Print Priority”, General Settings Guide.
When Finisher or Booklet Finisher is installed on the machine, you can specify
the output tray where documents are delivered. See “Output tray settings”, General Settings Guide.
Operation speed might be reduced if you scan originals while a print job is in
progress.

Windows has already configured the USB set­tings.
Windows Me and the machine cannot be con­nected.
The USB cable is not con­nected properly.
Check whether the com­puter has identified the machine as an unsup­ported device.
You need to download USB Printing Support for Windows Me.
Turn off the power of the machine, re­connect the USB cable, and then turn it on again.
Open Windows' Device Manager, and then, under [Universal Serial Bus control- lers], remove any conflicting devices. Conflicting devices have a [!] or [?] icon by them. Take care not to accidentally remove required devices. For details, see Windows Help.
When using Windows 2000 / XP or Windows Server 2003, an erroneous de­vice is displayed under [USB Controller] in the [Device Manager] dialog box.

Troubleshooting When Using the Printer Function

When You Cannot Print

Use the following procedures if printing does not start even after performing [Print].
Problem Cause Solution
Printing does not start. The power is off. Check the cable is securely plugged
into the power outlet and the machine. Turn on the main power switch.

Printing does not start. The interface cable was
connected after the ma­chine was switched on.
Printing does not start. If the machine is operat-
ing in an extended wire­less LAN, failure to print might result from a weak wireless signal.
Press the {Online} key.
Check the error message or warning status on the display panel and take the required action.
Connect the interface cable securely. If it has a fastener, fasten that securely as well. See “Connecting to the Interfac­es”, General Settings Guide.
The type of interface cable you should use depends on the computer. Be sure to use the correct one. If the cable is damaged or worn, replace it. See “Con­necting to the Interfaces”, General Set­tings Guide.
Connect the interface cable before turn­ing on the machine.
To check signal status, press the {User
Tools} key, and then press [System Set­tings] on the display panel. On the [Inter­face Settings] tab, select [IEEE 802.11b],
and then press [Wireless LAN Signal]. If signal quality is poor, move the ma­chine to a location where radio waves can pass or remove objects that might cause interference.
(You can check signal status only when using wireless LAN in the infrastruc­ture mode.)

Data-in lamp does not blink or light up.
If the data-in lamp is unlit or not flashing even after performing [Print], the machine has not received the data.
Check access point settings when in the infrastructure mode. Depending on the access point, client access may be limit­ed by MAC address. Also, check there are no problems in transmission be­tween access point and wired clients, and between access point and wireless clients.
Confirm the orange LED is lit, and the green LED is lit or blinks during trans­mission.
Check the login user name, login pass­word, or driver encryption key.
Check the settings of the Extended Se­curity function with the administrator.

4. Troubleshooting When
Using the Scanner Function
This chapter explains likely causes of and possible solutions for scanner function problems.

When Scanning is Not Done as Expected

This section explains causes and remedies when scan results are not as expected.
Problem Cause Solution
The scanned image is dirty.
The image is distorted or out of position.
The image is distorted or out of position.
The scanned image is upside down.
No image results from scanning.
Images are scanned in rotated.
The exposure glass or auto docu­ment feeder (ADF) is dirty.
The original was moved during scanning.
The original was not pressed flat against the exposure glass.
The original was placed upside down.
The original was placed with the front and back reversed.
If you set the original with its up­per edge backward and save full color/grey scale images as a TIFF or JPEG file, they are scanned in rotated.
Clean these parts. See p.114 “Maintaining Your Machine”.
Do not move the original during scanning.
Make sure that the original is pressed flat against the exposure glass.
Place the original in the correct orientation. See “Placing Origi­nals”, Copy/Document Server Reference.
When the original is placed direct­ly on the exposure glass, the side to be scanned must face down. When the original is fed via the ADF, the side to be scanned must face up. See “Placing Originals”, Copy/Document Server Refer­ence.
When placing a stack of originals in the ADF, place their lower edg­es first.
See “Various Scan Settings”, Scanner Reference.
The scanned image contains white spaces.
• If you scan originals using functions other than the net­work TWAIN scanner func­tion, certain paper size and resolution settings may pro­duce scanned images that are larger than the specified size because of margins being added to the sides.
• If the File Format Converter (optional ) is installed, the margins may become wider.
Scanning at a higher resolution may reduce the margins.

tray.
The staple or punching location will be on the left side of the paper, when you
are facing the machine.
Do not place anything on top of or leave documents on the sensor. This may
lead to the paper size not being correctly scanned or paper jams.
When using the Z-fold function, the paper in the interposer must be of the
same size as the prints after they have been Z-folded. If the paper in the inter­poser is larger than the Z-folded sheets, a misfeed might occur.

Adding Toner
This section explains adding and storing toner.
WARNING:
Do not incinerate used toner or toner containers. Toner dust might ig­nite when exposed to an open flame. Dispose of used toner containers in accordance with local regulations.
CAUTION:
Keep toner (used or unused) and toner containers out of reach of children. See a doctor immediately if you accidentally swallow toner.
CAUTION:
If toner or used toner is inhaled, gargle with plenty of water and move into a fresh air environment. Consult a doctor if necessary.

Avoid getting toner on your clothes or skin when removing a paper jam or replacing toner. If your skin comes into contact with toner, wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water.
If toner gets on your clothing, wash with cold water. Hot water will set the toner into the fabric and may make removing the stain impossible.
