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:
A
Unplug the IEEE 1394 interface cables connected to the compu­ter.
B
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”.

When printing graphics, the out­put and the screen are different.
Page layout is not as expected.
If the printer driver is configured to use the graphics command, the graph­ics command from the machine is used to print.
If you want to print accurately, set the printer driver to print without using the graphics command.
See the printer driver Help.
Print areas differ depending on machine used. Information that fits on a single page on one machine may not fit on a single page of another ma­chine.
Adjust the [Printable area:] setting in the [Printer Configuration...] dialog box on the [Print Settings] tab in the RPCS™ printer driver.

Duplex printing is not possible.
Duplex printing cannot be done with paper set in the bypass tray. When using duplex printing, make settings to use paper from a tray other than the bypass tray.
Duplex printing cannot be done with thick paper, OHP transparencies, or labels specified as the paper type. Specify another paper type.
Duplex printing cannot be done using a tray for which [Duplex] is not selected as the paper type in [Tray Paper Settings] in [System Settings]. Se­lect [Duplex] as the paper type in [Tray Paper Settings]. See General Settings Guide.

User code management may have been set. Ask the administrator about valid user codes. To print, the user code must be entered from the printer driver.
The print job is not canceled even when the machine is switched to of­fline status.
Photo images are coarse.
Images are cut off, or excess is print­ed.

It takes too much time to resume printing.
Paper is not fed from the selected tray.
Optional compo­nents connected to the machine are not recognized when using Win­dows 95/98/Me, Windows 2000/XP, and Windows NT 4.0.
Images are print­ed in the wrong orientation.
The printed image is different from the image on the computer's dis­play.
The data is so large or complex that it takes time to process. If the Data In indicator is blinking, data is being processed. Simply wait until printing resumes.
The machine was in Energy Saver mode. To resume from Energy Saver mode, it has to warm up, and this takes time. See General Settings Guide.
When you are using a Windows operating system, printer driver settings override those set using the control panel. Set the desired input tray using the printer driver.
See the printer driver Help.
You have to configure the option setup in printer properties when bidirec­tional transmission is not enabled.
See the printer driver Help.
The feed orientation you selected and the feed orientation selected in the printer driver's option setup might not be the same. Set the machine's feed orientation and the printer driver's feed orientation accordingly.
See the printer driver Help.
With certain functions, such as enlargement and reduction, image layout might be different to that on the computer display.
You might have selected to replace True Type fonts with machine fonts in the printing process.
To print an image similar to that of the computer display, make settings to print True Type fonts as an image.
