• The number 

of jobs ex-
ceeds the ca-
pacity of the 
machine.

• A  communi-

cation error 
might have 
occurred.

• Occurrence of 

interference 
from 
IEEE802.11b 
(wireless 
LAN) devices 
affect com-
munication 
speed.

• Bluetooth 

transmission 
speeds are 
not high.

• Reduce the number of jobs.

• Remove the machine from close proximity with 

IEEE802.11b wireless LAN devices. 

• If there are active IEEE802.11b wireless LAN devices 

or other Bluetooth devices nearby, relocate the ma-
