  • Turn off the printer and computer. Make sure the printer’s interface cable is securely plugged in.

  • If you are using the USB interface, make sure your cable meets the USB 1.1 or 2.0 standards.

  • Make sure there is no packing material in the printer.

    If the check page prints correctly, make sure the printer driver and your application are installed correctly.

  • If you are trying to print a large image, your computer may not have enough memory. Try reducing the resolution of your image or printing the image at a smaller size. You may need to install more memory in your computer.

  • Users of Windows Me and 98 SE can clear any stalled print jobs from the spool manager.
