Recommended Actions

StepsAction
1

For the first time this type of issue occurs:

  • Power off the printer.
  • Allow it to sit for one minute.
  • Then power it back on.
  • Try printing again to see if this corrects the issue.
2

If the issue continues use the printer's operator panel to print an internal Menus Settings page. The Menu Settings page is located under the Reports menu.

  • If the Menu Settings page prints correctly, try printing from the computer again. If the issue occurs only when printing from the computer, try printing from different programs or applications to see if one particular program or print job is experiencing the issue.
    NOTE:
    If you are printing from a PowerPoint or the Microsoft Office 2004 Suite for Macintosh, the customer will need to install an update to Microsoft Office 2004 to correct this issue.
  • If the issue occurs when printing the Menu Settings page as well, continue with the steps below.
3

Using the printer operator panel, enter the Paper Menu and check the Paper Size settings. Confirm that the paper size setting for each tray correctly matches the paper or print media loaded in that tray.

4

If none of the suggestions above correct the issue, try replacing the System Card. See below for parts numbers.
