Solving Operational Problems
If you can’t turn the printer on, if it stops printing unexpectedly, or if
nothing prints, check the following:
•
The printer is turned on and the
Operate
light is on.
•
The printer is plugged securely into a working electrical outlet that’s not
controlled by a switch or timer.
•
If you’re using the RIP Station 5100, make sure the interface cable is
securely connected to the printer and RIP and the RIP is turned on.
Check the RIP Station 5100
