Check the direction or size of the paper.” appears on the touch panel.
In this case, just clearing the misfed paper does not prevent another paper from being misfed. Be sure to follow the procedure below. Troubleshooting differs depending on how the paper misfeed has occurred:

1 TROUBLESHOOTING FOR THE HARDWARE
Never attempt to incinerate toner cartridges.
Dispose of used toner cartridges and waste toner boxes in accordance with local regulations.
Some toner is still left in the toner cartridge while the message “Toner near Empty” is displayed. You do not have to replace the toner cartridge yet, but if you choose to do so, follow the procedure P.55 “Replacing a “Near Empty” toner cartridge”.
Recommended toner cartridges
To assure optimal printing performance, we recommend that you use only genuine TOSHIBA toner cartridges. If you use a TOSHIBA-recommended toner cartridge, you can utilize the following three functions of this equipment:
Cartridge detecting function:
This function checks if the toner cartridge is correctly installed and notifies you if it is not.
Toner remaining check function:
This function notifies you when there is little toner remaining in the cartridge, as well as notifying it to your authorized service representative automatically by the remote service.
Image quality optimization function:
This function controls image quality according to the characteristics of the toner to be used and enables you to print images of an optimal quality.
If you are using a toner cartridge other than the one we recommend, the equipment may not be able to detect whether it is installed or not. Therefore, even if the toner cartridge is correctly installed, the error message “TONER NOT RECOGNIZED” appears on the touch panel and printing may not be performed. You may also not be able to utilize the image quality optimization function, the toner remaining check function and the remote service function notifying your authorized service representative automatically. If you are using a toner cartridge other than the one we recommend, toner is not recognized. If this is a problem for you, please contact your service representative. Remember you will not be able to utilize the Toner remaining check function and Image quality optimization function as we mentioned.
Do not touch the terminal of the toner cartridge.
This may cause the equipment not to recognize the toner cartridge or may damage the terminal.

Locating the Equipment in the Network
Cannot locate the equipment in the network
Problem Description
I cannot locate the equipment in the network.
Corrective Action
Improper settings may cause problems in locating the equipment in the network. Try the checklist below to detect the cause of the problem. If the problem remains unsolved, contact your service representative.
No
.
Check... Yes No Corrective Action
1 Is the startup page printed out? If not,
wait until the communication comes online. Examine the protocol settings listed on the startup page. Are they correct?
Next Step
Ø
Ö
Set up the proper protocols.
2 Print out a configuration page. Make
sure that there are not any discrepancies or inconsistencies between the current network settings and your network environment. Change the network settings, if necessary. Use the Find Computer utility from your Windows computer to locate the equipment by its device name. Can you find the equipment?
Next Step
Ø
Ö
Set up the proper protocol if required. Once you have located the equipment, configure the port that it is mapped correctly to the device.
3 Can you locate other computers
connected to the same network?
Next Step
Ø
Ö
Check the network settings on the client computer to make sure that they are compatible with the network settings on the equipment.
4 Check the link LED activity on the hub
and/or NIC of the equipment and the client machine. Do the hardware components appear to be functioning properly?
Next Step
Ø
Ö
Contact your service representative.
5 Confirm whether the Ethernet cable is
normal. Does the current Ethernet speed appear on the ETHERNET setting screen ([USER FUNCTIONS] ­[ADMIN] - [NETWORK] - [ETHERNET]) ? Furthermore, confirm whether the hub you are using supports FULL mode. Does the hub support its mode ?
Next Step
Ø
Ö
If “Link not detected” is displayed on the ETHERNET setting screen, a contact failure or disconnection may be occurred in the cable. In this case, check the cable, and replace it with a new one, if required. Furthermore, if the hub does not support FULL mode, connect the equipment to the switching hub. When the port setting of the switch is fixed at half-duplex communication, change it to any of 10/100/1000 Mbps, full-duplex fixed communication mode or auto­negotiation. Contact your local network support specialist for further assistance.

6 Make sure that the device name for the
equipment is unique and verify that the WINS and/or DNS server database are not causing potential naming conflicts with the network settings on the equipment. If necessary, change the network settings on the equipment. After the communication comes back online, can you see the equipment in the network?
Next Step
Ø
Ö
Set up the NetBIOS name of the device correctly.
7 If the network environment is using
complex subnet or supernet structures, is the IP address used by the equipment within the network structures range of valid addresses?

96 Locating the Equipment in the Network
Cannot locate the equipment with Local Discovery
Problem Description
Local Discovery cannot detect the equipment.
Corrective Action
The equipment is normally located automatically by SNMP. When the TWAIN driver, File Downloader, Address Book Viewer, Backup/Restore Utility, Remote Scan driver, N/W-Fax driver or printer driver cannot automatically discover the equipment over the network, the most likely cause is limitations of the protocols supported by the computer. In some cases, you need to add or update network components; however, first see the checklist below to fix the problem.
No
.

2 Are the SNMP setting of the equipment
and that of the software the same?
Next Step
Ø
Ö
SNMP V1/V2: Check if the community names of the equipment and the software are the same. SNMP V3: Check if each item of the SNMP setting of the equipment and the software is the same.
3 Confirm that the protocol suite installed
on the client computer has been updated with the latest software for the given operating system. If your network only supports the IPX/SPX protocol, make sure that the most current version of Novell Client software is installed.
Next Step
Ø
Ö
See the vendor’s website for information about product updates and technical supports.
4 Print an NIC Configuration page from
the equipment. Does the equipment support the same protocol as the network?
Next Step
Ø
Ö
Configure the proper protocol.
5 Change the protocol settings from
TopAccess, if necessary, and reboot the equipment for the changes to take effect. Repeat step 2. Was the device discovered?
End
Next Step
Ø
6 Check the NIC Configuration page. Are
the IP address and subnet mask settings correct?
Next Step
Ø
Ö
Setup the TCP/IP settings correctly.
7 Check the router to make sure that it is
not filtering out the equipment packets. Is the router processing equipment packets correctly?
Next Step
Ø
Ö
Adjust the router settings.
8 Can another computer within the same
network segment discover the equipment?
Next Step
Ø
Ö
