The Machine Does Not Print

Possible Cause Solutions

Is the power on? Check the cable is securely plugged into the power outlet and the

machine.

Turn on the main power switch.

Is the machine online? If not, press {{{{ffffOnline}}}} on the control panel.

Does the Printer key stay red?

Is there a warning status or error message on the display?

Can you print a configuration page?

Is the interface cable connected securely to the machine and computer?

Are you using the correct interface cable?

Was the interface cable connected after the machine was turned on?

Is the signal status satisfactory when using wireless LAN in infrastructure mode ?

If so, check the error message on the display and take required action.

If so, check the error message or warning status on the display and take the required action.

If you cannot print a configuration page, there maybe a machine malfunction. Contact your sales or service representative.

See p.26 “Printing the configuration page” for printing a configuration page.

Connect the interface cable securely. If it has a fastener, fasten that securely as well.

See “Connecting the Machine”, Printer Reference 1.

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 the Machine”, Printer Reference 1.

Connect the interface cable before turning on the machine.

To check signal status, press the {{{{User Tools/Counter}}}} key, and then select [System Settings] using {{{{UUUU}}}} or {{{{TTTT}}}}. On the [Interface Settings], select [IEEE802.11b], and then select [Wireless LAN Signal] using {{{{UUUU}}}}or {{{{TTTT}}}}. If signal quality is poor, remove objects that might cause interference.

When using wireless LAN, is the SSID correctly set?

When using wireless LAN, is the access point correctly set?

Note

❒ You can check signal status only when using wireless LAN in

infrastructure mode.

Check using the machine's control panel that the SSID is correctly set.

See “Interface Settings/IEEE 802.11b (Option)”, Network Guide.

Check access point settings when in 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.

When using wireless LAN, is the LED on the wireless LAN card lit or blinking?

Is the wireless LAN being used in ad hoc mode?

Did you change the option settings on the machine?

Confirm the orange LED is lit, and the green LED is lit or blinks during transmission.

Turn the main power off and back on. See “Turning On the Power”, Copy Reference.

Otherwise, configure [IEEE 802.11b] in [Interface Settings] in [System

Settings]. See “Setting Up the Machine on a Network”, Network Guide.

When using the RPCS™ printer driver on Windows 2000 and connecting with IEEE 1394, an error may occur if you change the option settings on the machine. In this case, follow the procedure below:

Unplug the IEEE 1394 interface cables connected to the computer.

Run the utility tool for the IEEE 1394 interface board, which is stored in the following path on the CD-ROM “Printer Drivers and Utilities”.

\UTILITY\1394\

Reference

For more information about using the utility tool for IEEE 1394, see the README file in the same directory on the CDROM.

Restart the computer.

Connect the computer to the machine using the IEEE 1394 interface cables.
