Troubleshooting When Using the Printer Function

Images are printed in 
the wrong orientation.
The feed orientation 
you selected and the 
feed orientation se-
lected in the printer 
driver's option setup 
might not be the 
same.
Set the machine's feed orientation and the 
printer driver's feed orientation accordingly. 
See the printer driver Help.
Images are cut off, or 
excess is printed.
You may be using pa-
per smaller than the 
size selected in the 
application.
Use the same size paper as that selected in the 
application. If you cannot load paper of the cor-
rect size, use the reduction function to reduce 
the image, and then print. See the printer driver 
Help.
Page layout is not as 
expected.
Print areas differ de-
pending on machine 
used. Information that 
fits on a single page on 
one machine may not 
fit on a single page of 
another machine.
Adjust the [Printable area:] setting in the [Printer 
Configuration...] dialog box on the [Print Settings] 
tab in the RPCS printer driver. See the printer 
driver Help.
Photo images are 
coarse.
Some applications print 
at lower resolution.
Use the application's settings to specify a higher 
resolution.
Solid lines are print-
ed as broken lines.
Dither patterns do 
not match.
Make the following settings with the printer 
driver: Change the [Dithering:] setting on the [Im-
age Adjustments] tab in the [Change User Set-
tings...] dialog box, on the [Print Quality] tab in the 
RPCS printer driver. See the printer driver 
Help.
Optional components 
connected to the ma-
chine are not recog-
nized when using 
Windows 95 / 98 / 
Me, Windows 2000 / 
XP, Windows Server 
2003, and Windows 
NT 4.0.
Bidirectional commu-
nication is not working.
Set up optional devices on the Properties of the 
printer.
See the printer driver Help.
Print results using 
combined printing or 
auto reduce/enlarge 
are not as expected 
under Windows 95 / 
98 / Me / 2000 / XP, 
Windows Server 
2003, or Windows NT 
4.0.
The correct applica-
tion or printer driver 
settings are not made.
Make sure the application's paper size and ori-
entation settings match those of the printer 
driver. If a different paper size and orientation 
are set, select the same size and orientation.
When printing on 
custom size paper 
under Windows, the 
image appears in the 
wrong position.
The correct custom 
paper size is not spec-
ified in the printer 
driver's settings.
To print on custom size paper from the paper 
tray, specify the paper size in the printer driv-
er's settings. See the printer driver Help.
