The registration position of 
each color may have shifted 
while the printer was being 
shipped or moved to a new 
location. 
Check the color registration and adjust 
the alignment if necessary. 
See

284 for instructions.

You may use the printer fonts 
substituted for specified

Cause What to do
The interface cable may not be 
plugged in securely.

make sure that the cable is a 
double-shielded, twisted-pair interface 
cable no more than six feet in length.
The emulation setting for the 
port may not be correct.
Specify the emulation mode by using 
the printer’s control panel menus. See
