Problem Solving
Overview
This chapter will help you to troubleshoot and solve printer 
problems.
Clear paper 
jams:
Occasionally, paper can jam during printing. This section will 
help you to locate paper jams, properly clear them from the 
printer, and solve repeated paper jams.
Understand 
printer 
messages:
Many different messages can appear on the printer’s control 
panel display. Some messages tell the printer’s current status, 
such as 
INITIALIZING
. Other messages require an action, 
such as 
CLOSE TOP COVER
. Many of these messages are 
self-explanatory. However, some messages indicate a 
problem with the printer, or require further action or description. 
This section lists these types of messages, and tells what to 
do if a message persists.
Correct output 
quality 
problems:
The printer should produce print jobs of the highest quality. If 
print jobs do not look sharp and clear, defects such as lines, 
specks, or smears appear on the page, or paper is wrinkled or 
curled, use this section to troubleshoot and solve the output 
quality problem.
Determine 
printer 
problems:
Before you can fix a printer problem, you must understand 
where the problem lies. Use the flowchart in this section to 
determine the printer problem, and then follow the 
corresponding troubleshooting suggestions.
Check printer 
configuration:
From the printer, you can print information pages, which give 
details about the printer and its configuration.
