Corrective Action
The checklist below will help you identify the source of the error and direct you to information resolving the problem. If the problem
persists after you have followed all of the steps, contact your dealer.
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 dealer.
Also refer to the Basic Guide for more information on resolving output errors caused by software settings.
