The PostScript driver may not be installed correctly.

The print job was too complex.

Print job may not be PostScript.

The printer driver has not been configured to recognize the optional tray 2.

The resolution setting in the printer driver may not be matched with that in Acrobat Reader.

• Install the PostScript driver; to installing the PS printer driver, you need to select Custom and put a check mark on the PS printer driver. See the Software Section.

• If problem consists, contact a service representative.

You might need to reduce the complexity of the page or install more memory.

Make sure that the print job is a PostScript job. Check to see whether the software application expected a setup or PostScript header file to be sent to the printer.

Open the PostScript driver properties, select the Device Settings tab, and set the Tray2 option of the Installable Options section to Installed.

Make sure that the resolution setting in your printer driver matches that in Acrobat Reader.

Condition Suggested solutions

• Check if the printer driver is installed in your system. Open Unified Driver Configurator and switch to the Printers tab in Printers configuration window to look at the list of available printers. Make sure that your machine is displayed on the list. If not, please, invoke Add new printer wizard to set up your device.

• Check if the printer is started. Open Printers configuration and select your machine on the printers list. Look at the description in the Selected printer pane. If its status contains “(stopped)” string, please, press the Start button. After that normal operation of the printer should be restored. The "stopped" status might be activated when some problems in printing occurred. For instance, this could be an attempt to print document when MFP port is claimed by a scanning application.

The print doesn’t print.

Check if your application has special print option such as “-oraw”. If “-oraw” is specified in the command line parameter then remove it to print properly. For Gimp front-end, select “print” -> “Setup printer” and edit command line parameter in the command item.

Troubleshooting>

Condition Suggested solutions

The printer does not appear on the scanners list.

• Check if your machine is attached to your computer. Make sure that it is connected properly via the USB port and is turned on.

• Check if the scanner driver for you machine is installed in your system. Open Unified Driver Configurator, switch to Scanners configuration, then press Drivers. Make sure that driver with a name corresponding to your machine's name is listed in the window.

• Check if the port is not busy. Since functional components of MFP (printer and scanner) share the same I/O interface (MFP port), the situation of simultaneous access of different “consumer” application to the same MFP port is possible. To avoid possible conflicts, only one of them at a time is allowed to gain control over the device. The other “consumer” will encounter “device busy” response. This can usually happen while starting scan procedure, and appropriate message box displays. To identify the source of the problem, you should open port configuration and select the port assigned to your scanner. MFP port's symbol /dev/mfp0 corresponds to LP:0 designation displayed in the scanners’ options, /dev/mfp1 relates to LP:1 and so on. USB ports start at /dev/mfp4, so scanner on USB:0 relates to /dev/mfp4 respectively and so forth sequentially. In the Selected port pane you can see if the port is occu pied by some other application. If this is the case, you should wait for completion of the current job or should press Release port button, if you are sure that the present port's owner is not functioning properly.

The printer doesn’t scan.

Can’t scan via Gimp Front-end.

• Check if a document is loaded into the machine.

• Check if your machine is connected to the computer. Make sure if it is connected properly if I/O error is reported while scanning.

• Check if port is not busy. Since functional components of MFP (printer and scanner) share the same I/O interface (MFP port), the situation of simultaneous access of different “consumer” application to the same MFP port is possible. To avoid possible conflicts, only one of them at a time is allowed to gain control over the device. The other “consumer” will encounter “device busy” response. This can usually happen while starting scan procedure, and appropriate message box will be displayed. To identify the source of the problem, you should open port configuration and select the port assigned to your scanner. MFP port’s symbol /dev/mfp0 corresponds to LP:0 designation displayed in the scanners’ options, /dev/mfp1 relates to LP:1 and so on. USB ports start at /dev/mfp4, so scanner on USB:0 relates to /dev/mfp4 respectively and so forth sequentially. In the Selected port pane you can see if the port is occupied by some other application. If this is the case, you should wait for completion of the current job or should press Release port button, if you are sure that the present port’s owner is not functioning properly.

• Check if Gimp Front-end has “Xsane:Device dialog..” on the “Acquire” menu. If not, you should install Xsane plug-in for Gimp on the your computer. You can find Xsane plug-in package for Gimp on Linux distribution CD or Gimp home page. For the detail information, refer to the Help for Linux distribution CD or Gimp Front-end application.

If you wish to use other kind of scan application, refer to the Help for application.

Troubleshooting>

Condition Suggested solutions

Please avoid changing print job parameters (via LPR GUI, for example) while a print job is

in progress. Known versions of CUPS server I encounter error “Unable to open MFP port device file!” when printing a document.

break the print job whenever print options are

changed and then try to restart the job from

the beginning. Since Unified Linux Driver

locks MFP port while printing, the abrupt

termination of the driver keeps the port locked

and therefore unavailable for subsequent print

jobs. If this situation occurred, please, try to

release the MFP port.

Common Macintosh problems

Condition Suggested solutions

The printer does not print a document from Acrobat Reader.

The document has printed, but the print job has not disappeared from the spooler in Mac OS 10.3.2.

You should change the Print Method option to Print as Image when you print from Acrobat Reader.

Update your Mac OS to OS 10.3.3 or higher.
