Nothing Prints
If you have sent a print job and nothing prints, try these solutions:
• Make sure your product is turned on.
• Make sure any interface cables are connected securely at both ends.
• If you connected your product to a USB hub, make sure it is a first-tier hub. If it still does not print,
connect your product directly to your computer instead of the hub.
• Run a product check to see if a test page prints. If the test page prints, check to see if your product
software is installed correctly.
• If you are printing a large image, the computer may not have enough memory. Print the image at a
lower resolution or a smaller file size.
• In Windows, click Print Queue on the Maintenance tab in the printer settings window and check for
the following:
• Check for any stalled or paused print jobs. Cancel or unpause any jobs as necessary.
• Open the Printer menu and make sure the product is not offline.
• Open the Printer menu and set the product as the default printer, if necessary.
• In OS X, select System Preferences from the Apple menu or Dock, select Print & Scan or Printers
& Scanners, then double-click your printer icon. Check to see if any jobs are paused. Cancel or
resume any jobs as necessary.
