• Is the print head or roller dirty?
While the print head generally remains clean under normal use,
lint or dirt from the roller may become stuck on the printer head.
If this occurs, clean the roller.
For details, see
"Roller maintenance" in page 13.
• Is the correct port chosen?
Check that the correct port is chosen from the "Print to the
following port" list in the Printer Properties dialog box.

flashing orange)?
Wait until the LED lamp stops flashing and then try printing
again.

If you try to print while other users are printing large amounts of

printing is finished. In such situations, execute the print job
again after the other jobs are completed.
