General Troubleshooting
Some parts of the image are lost 
during 2-up copying.
When printing 
envelopes, the scale 
was specified and 
then 2-up copying 
was set.
With 2-up copying, 
the scale is 
automatically 
adjusted. For 2-up 
copying on media 
with a narrow printing 
area, set 2-up copying 
and then adjust the 
scale if necessary.
The printer resets or turns off 
frequently.
The power cord is not 
correctly plugged 
into the outlet.
Turn off the printer, 
confirm that the 
power cord is correctly 
plugged into the 
outlet, then turn on 
the printer.
The printer is making unusual
noises.
The printer is not 
level.
Place the printer on a 
flat, hard, level 
surface.
The paper tray is not 
installed correctly.
Remove the tray that 
you are printing from 
and reinsert it 
completely into the 
printer.
There is a foreign 
object stuck inside 
the printer.
Turn off the printer 
and remove the
object. 
The Fuser or Duplex 
Unit are not installed 
incorrectly.
Remove each unit and 
reinstall correctly.
With 2-up on multiple copies, the 
output is incorrect.
Both the printer 
driver and the 
application have 
been set for collation.
For 2-up copying on 
multiple copies, 
choose Collate only in 
the printer driver’s 
Basic tab. Do not set 
collation in the 
application.
Booklet Left and Right Binding 
output is incorrect.
Both the printer 
driver and the 
application have 
been set for collation.
For Booklet Left 
Binding and Booklet 
Right Binding, choose 
Collate only in the 
printer driver’s Basic 
tab. Do not set 
collation in the 
application.
