Symptom
Check Items Corrective Actions
The printer will not print 
from the computer. Check the 
Ready indicator. Using the information on page 1-5, check if an error 
has occurred and clear the error.
Check if a status page can be printed. If the status page was printed successfully, there  may be a problem with the connection to the 
computer. Refer to the Installation Guide and check 
the connection.
Check that the indicators display in a 
recognized combination. Refer to 
Indicators on page 1-5 for further 
information. Turn the power switch Off (O) and then On ( | ) 
again. Print the job again.
Print quality is poor. – Select half speed mode using the printer driver.
Refer to  Print Quality Problems on page 5-3.
Text is missing on the 
Windows test page. –
This is a problem specific to the Windows OS. It is 
not a printer problem. It does not affect print quality. 
Paper is jammed. – Refer to Cleaning Paper Jams  on page5-11.
The indicators are off and 
the fan is not working. Check the power cord.
Connect both ends of the power cord securely. Try 
replacing the power cord. Refer to  Installation Guide 
for information.
Check the power switch is in the 
On ( | ) position. Refer to the 
Installation Guide  for more information.
The printer prints a status 
page but data from the 
computer is not being 
printed. Check program files and application 
software.Try printing another file or using another print 
command. If the problem occurs with a specific file or 
application, check the printer settings for that 
application.
Check the interface cable. Connect both ends of the interface cable securely. 
Try replacing the printer cable. Refer to the 
Installation Guide  for more information.
Vapor is emitted near the 
top tray.Check if the temperature is low near 
the location of the printer, or if the 
paper that is being used has been 
exposed to humidity. Depending on the operating environment of the 
printer and the condition of the paper, heat 
generated during printing can evaporate water 
moisture in the printed paper, emitting vapor from the 
printer. In this case, printing can be continued 
without any problem.
To correct this, increase the temperature in the room, 
and use paper that has been stored in a dry place.
