Hardware Problems
This section describes troubles caused by the hardware device (the equipment).
If an icon or a message indicating an error is not displayed, or the problems in the printer drivers or the network connection
cannot be specified, a hardware problem is a possible cause of the trouble.
The following are common factors involved in the hardware problems:
System board, cables, and connectors
The equipment, and its components such as the duplexing unit or the Finisher
System software or firmware of the equipment
Print jobs not output
Problem Description
All the clients within a network fail to make the equipment output the print jobs.
Corrective Action
There remains a possibility that improper settings of the software such as printer drivers caused the problem. However, a
hardware error is possible, if none of the clients can print the jobs. Try the steps on the checklist below. If the problem
persists after you have followed all of the steps, contact your service representative.
Also refer to the Printing Guide for more information on resolving output errors caused by software settings.
