Are you using appropriate paper?

  • Check the supported paper types and replace with an appropriate type. Also, set the paper size and type correctly.

 

Do you print data without margins?

  • This symptom occurs if a margin is set to none in the printer driver. A margin of 1/4" (5 mm) or less around the edge of paper or 3/8" (10 mm) or less around the edge of envelopes is not printable with the machine. Make sure to have margins around the document to print.

  • If a higher level is specified, the printing speed may be slower.
