TROUBLESHOOTING

PRINTING AND SCANNING PROBLEMS

The following problems are related to the general operation of printing and scanning.

Problem

Cause and solution

Page No.

The machine cannot print.

The machine is not correctly connected to your 
computer.

Check both ends of the USB cable and make sure that you have 
a solid connection. Please use the USB cable delivered together 
with the machine.

Copying.

Wait until the copy job is completed.

Your machine is not selected correctly in the current 
applications for the print job.

When choosing "Print" from the "File" menu located in the 
applications, make sure that you have selected "SHARP 
AL-XXXX" printer (where XXXX is the model name of your 
machine) in the "Print" dialog box.

The printer driver has not been installed properly.

Follow these steps to check if the printer driver is installed 
properly.
1 Click the "start" button, and then click "Printers and Faxes".
      In Windows 2000, click the "Start" button, select "Settings" 

and then click "Printers".
In Windows Vista, click the "Start" button and select "Control 
Panel" and then double click "Printers".
In Windows 7, click the "Start" button, and then click 
"Equipment and Printers".

2 If the "SHARP AL-XXXX" printer driver icon is shown but you 

still cannot print, it is possible that the printer driver has not 
been installed correctly. In this case, delete the software and 
then reinstall it.

Printing is slow.

Simultaneous use of two or more applications.

Exit all the undesired applications before printing.

The printed image is light and 
uneven.

The paper is loaded in such a way that the printing takes 
place on the back side of the paper.

Some paper types have printable front and back sides. If the 
paper is loaded in such a way that printing takes place on the 
back side, toner will not adhere well to the paper and high-quality 
images cannot be produced.

9

The printed image is dirty.

You are using the paper that is outside the specified size 
and weight range.

Use copy paper within the specified range.

7

Paper is curled or damp.

Do not use the curled or crimped paper. Replace it with dry copy 
paper. If the machine is not used for a long time, remove the 
paper from the feed tray, put it into a bag and store in a shady 
and cool place to prevent moisture absorption.

You did not set sufficient margins in the paper settings of 
your application.

The top and bottom of the paper may be dirty if the margins are 
set outside of the specified print area.

Set the margins in the software application within the specified 
print area.

Please refer to "CARTRIDGE CLEANING MODE".
