Before Using Your Machine
Before attempting any printing operation, confirm the following:
• Make sure you have installed the printer driver.
• For USB or network cable users: Make sure the interface cable is physically secure.
Selecting the correct type of paper
For high quality printing, it is important to select the correct type of paper. Be sure to read the information about
acceptable paper before buying paper, and to determine the printable area depending on the settings in the
printer driver.
Firewall (Windows)
If your computer is protected by a firewall and you are unable to network print, you may need to configure the
firewall settings. If you are using the Windows Firewall and you installed the drivers using the steps in the
installer, the necessary firewall settings have been already set. If you are using any other personal firewall
software, see the User's Guide for your software or contact the software manufacturer.
