incorrectly.

The device name does not appear in the printer list box in the print center.
Cause Solution
The device might not be ready. Make sure that the cables are connected correctly, the device is on, and
the ready light is on. If you are connecting through a USB hub, try
connecting directly to the computer or use a different port.
The wrong device name is being used. Print a Configuration report. See
Information pages on page 64. Verify
that the name on the Configuration report matches the device name in
the Print Center.
The interface cable might be defective or of poor quality. Replace the interface cable. Make sure to use a high-quality cable.

Cause Solution

device before printing.
●
Send the file in ASCII format instead of binary encoding.
