Troubleshooting When Using the Printer Function

There is considera-
ble delay between
the print start in-
struction and actu-
al printing.
Processing time
depends on
data volume.
High volume
data, such as
graphics-heavy
documents,
takes longer to
process.
If the Data In indicator is blinking, data has been received
by the machine. Wait for a while.
Making the following setting on the printer driver may re-
duce the computer's workload.
For how to open the printing preferences dialog box, see
“Setting Up the Printer Driver”, Printer Reference.

Select the lower value for the [Resolution] list on the
[Print Quality] tab in the printing preferences dialog box.

Graphics print
out differently
to how they ap-
pear on screen.
If the printer
driver is config-
ured to use the
graphics com-
mand, the graph-
ics command
from the machine
is used to print.
If you want to print accurately, set the printer driver to
print without using the graphics command. See the print-
er driver Help.
Page layout is
not as expected.
Print areas differ
depending on the
machine used. In-
formation that fits
on a single page
on one machine
may not fit on a
single page of an-
other machine.
Adjust the [Printable area:] setting in the [Printer Configura-
tion...] dialog box on the [Print Settings] tab in the RPCS
printer driver. See the printer driver Help.
