Printer power is on but nothing prints
Try the following if the Sharp Color MFP is on but nothing prints
(there is no action from the printer):
•
Make sure the Sharp Color MFP has paper.
•
Make sure the printer parallel cable is completely plugged into the
Sharp Color MFP.
•
In Windows 3.1, check the printer status in the Spool Manager
window. To do this:
1.
Open the Spool Manager.
2.
Click the Queue menu and make sure no check mark appears
next to the Hold option.
•
Print a printer test page. See
Printing a Test Page
in Chapter 4. If
the test page prints, the printer is functioning properly. Check your
application.
•
If you are trying to print from a DOS-based application, the prob-
lem could be with your DOS settings. Check your DOS printer
port settings, driver, and your application settings.
Sharp Color MFP prints very slowly
Try the following if your printer is printing slowly:
•
See
Increasing print speed
in Chapter 4.
•
Consider purchasing more memory for your personal computer.
•
In Windows 3.1 or 3.11, consider increasing the virtual memory to
a larger value.
•
Check the document you are printing. Graphics usually take more
time to print than text.
