The machine must be connected to the same network
as your PC.
If you do not know which network the machine is connected to, ask
the network administrator. |
|
Have you changed your network environment by replacing a computer or adding a new router? |
The connection to the computer may not be correct
due to a change in IP address caused by replacing your computer
or by a change in the network environment. Contact your network
administrator to confirm that the settings between the machine and
your computer or network environment are correct. |
|
Is the IP address selected correctly? (Windows) |
Check the IP address setting.
If the machine does not have a permanent IP address (the machine
receives an IP address from a DHCP server), printing will not be
possible if the IP address changes.
You can check the machine's IP address in [Network Status] of setting
mode. If the IP address has changed, change the port setting in
the printer driver. "Settings" → [Status] → [Network Status] See: Software Setup Guide If the IP address changes frequently, it is recommended that a permanent IP address be assigned to the machine. "Settings (administrator)" → [System Settings] → [Network Settings] |

Is the I/O timeout setting too short? |
Check with your administrator.
If the I/O timeout setting is too short, errors may occur while
writing to the printer. Ask the administrator of the machine to
configure an appropriate time in "I/O Timeout".
"Settings (administrator)" → [System Settings] → [Printer Settings]
→ [Condition Settings] → [I/O Timeout]. |
|
Was a Notice Page printed? |
Check the Notice Page.
A Notice Page will be printed to indicate the cause of the problem

Are you using a type of paper (envelopes, punch paper, etc.) that can only be loaded in a fixed orientation? |
Rotate the image 180 degrees before printing.
When the image size and paper size are the same but the orientations
are different, the orientation of the image is automatically rotated
to match the paper. However, when the paper can only be loaded in
a fixed orientation, the image may be printed upside down. In this
event, rotate the image 180 degrees before printing.
