What should I do if I cannot print a document?
❑
Make sure your printer is on, and the printer cable is securely connected to the ports on the printer and your computer.
❑
Make sure your printer is compatible with the Windows operating system installed on your computer.
❑
You may need to install the printer driver software before you use your printer. See the manual that came with your printer
for more information.
❑
If your printer is not functioning after your computer resumes from a power saving mode (Sleep or Hibernate), then restart
the computer.
❑
If the bidirectional communication functions are provided with your printer, disabling the functions on your computer may
enable printing. Follow these steps:
1 Click Start and Control Panel .
2 Click Printer under Hardware and Sound .
3 Right-click the printer icon and select Properties .
4 Click the Ports tab.
5 Click to cancel the Enable bidirectional support check box.

remote panel.
