    PostScript mode
    The printer does not print
    Cause What to do
    The printer’s emulation mode 
    setting is incorrect.The printer is set to the Auto mode by 
    default, so that it can automatically 
    determine the encoding used in the 
    received print job data and select the 
    appropriate emulation mode. However, 
    there are situations where the printer 
    cannot select the correct emulation 
    mode. In this case, it must be set manually 
    to PS3.
    Set the emulation mode through the 
    SelecType Emulation menu on the printer. 
    See  Emulation Menu on page 230.
    The printer’s emulation mode 
    setting for the interface that you are 
    using is incorrect.The emulation mode can be set 
    individually for each interface which 
    receives print job data. Set the emulation 
    mode for the interface you are using to 
    PS3. 
    Set the emulation mode through the 
    SelecType Emulation menu on the printer. 
    See  Emulation Menu on page 230.
    Cause What to do

    the printer driver when the printer 
    is in the B/W or 4 × B/W mode, and

    occurs.Select the Black check box in the printer 
    driver.

    specified in the application (except 
    on Mac OS X)If the file is created in an application that 
    allows you to change the data format or 
    encoding, such as Photoshop, make sure 
    that the setting in the application 
    matches that in the printer driver.
    The network connection is 
    something other than AppleTalk, 
    and the Data Format setting is not 
    set to ASCII data.If the network connection is something 
    other  than AppleTalk, m ake  sure  that the  
    Data Format setting is set to ASCII data or 
    Tagged binary communications protocol 
    (Windows) or set to ASCII (Macintosh).

    An undefined error occurs (Macintosh only)
    Insufficient memory to print data (Macintosh 
    only)
    Cause What to do
    The version of the Mac OS that 
    you are using is unsupported.This printer’s driver can only be used on 
    Macintosh computers running Mac OS 9 
    version 9.1 or later, and Mac OS X version 
    10.2.4 or later.
    Cause What to do
    The Macintosh printer driver uses 
    available memory in the system to 
    process print data.Try one of the following to free up memory 
    for printing:
    ❏Reduce the RAM cache 
    setting in the Memory 
    control panel (for Mac OS 
    9).
    ❏Close applications that 
    are not in use.
    ❏Increase the memory 
    allocation for the 
    application that you are 
    printing from (for Mac 
    OS 9).
    ❏Turn off background 
    printing.
