Macintosh Printing Problems
Image Never Prints
1. Printer acts as if it is receiving data, but nothing comes out of the printer 
or it goes back to “Ready” mode without printing. The most likely cause is 
a PostScript error occurred in the printer.
2. Power cycle the printer and try printing again. 
3. Make sure that the correct Phaser 4500/4510 printer icon was selected in 
the Chooser. Try printing the job again.
4. In the Chooser or the print dialog, switch background printing to off. Try 
printing the job again.
5. If the error returns, turn ON the PostScript error handler through the 
control panel PostScript Error Info in the Support menu, or CentreWare IS 
and print the document again. Take note of the information on the error 
page that just printed. 
6. Select the appropriate Phaser 4500/4510 PPD with the LaserWriter 
Driver or application. Not selecting the appropriate PPD can cause 
PostScript errors.
7. Select a different document from the application and try to print. If the 
PostScript error does not occur, then the original document may be 
causing the problem.
8. Image is rotated 90 degrees.
9. In the application's Page Setup, make sure that the image is selected to 
print in portrait or landscape orientation to match the document. Also, 
ensure the selected paper size is correct.
