Depending on the timing of the occurrence, no jammed paper may be found where the paper jam sign indicates. If the
sign does not disappear after you have removed the jammed paper, follow the steps as instructed on the touch panel.
Do not touch the fuser unit or the metal portion around it.
Do not touch the fuser or the metal portion around it when you remove the

To assure an optimal performance, we recommend that you use TOSHIBA toner cartridges.
To assure optimal printing performance, we recommend that you use only genuine TOSHIBA toner cartridges. If you
use a TOSHIBA-recommended toner cartridge, you can utilize the following two functions of this equipment:
If you are using a toner cartridge other than the one we recommend, the equipment may not be able to detect whether
it is installed or not. Therefore, even if the toner cartridge is correctly installed, the error message TONER NOT
RECOGNIZED appears on the touch panel and printing may not be performed. You may also not be able to utilize the
toner remaining check function and the remote service function notifying your authorized service representative
automatically.
If you are using a toner cartridge other than the one we recommend, toner is not recognized. If this is a problem for
you, please contact your service representative. Remember you will not be able to utilize the cartridge check function
as we mentioned.
y You can replace a toner cartridge while the print function is in operation when Install New *** (color name)

Corrective Action
Clear the error following the procedure below.
2 Place paper of the size specified with the computer on the bypass tray, and press the
[START] button.
Printing is performed. Press [JOB STATUS] when printing has been completed.
Corrective Action
The document password for a Private Print job is never shown, once the job has been sent to the equipment.
To print the failed Private Print job, submit the document again as a new Private Print job.
The failed Private Print job remains unprinted in the job queue. To delete it, either way below is required. Contact the
administrator of the equipment.
y Enter the administrators password in the Private Print job list on the touch panel and delete the job.
For details, refer to the Printing Guide.
y Log on to TopAccess with the administrators password and delete the job in the Print Job list.
For details, refer to the TopAccess Guide.
Corrective Action
Since this may happen occasionally, clear the [JPEG Compression] check box of the [PDL Settings] tab in [Customization]
of the [Device Settings] tab before printing such documents.
For the error messages that appear during the installation of the printer drivers, refer to the Software Installation
Guide.
Corrective Action
If the printer driver on the client computer points to a wrong network port, jobs neither appear in the current jobs queue nor
are printed. Fix the problem following the procedure below:
1. Open the Printers folder from the Control Panel.
2. Right-click the printer driver icon.
3. Select Properties from the shortcut menu.
4. Select the [Ports] tab.
5. Make sure that the path to the printer and the device name are correct.
\\<device name>\print
<device name> is the same as the device name set from the touch panel. print may be univ or ps3 depending on
the printer driver you use.
6. Click the [General] Tab and click [Print Test Page] to confirm that the settings are correct.
Corrective Action
Check if the SNMP community names are the same in the following 3 settings.

Users who do not have the privilege to change the printer driver setting cannot change the options in the [Device Settings]
tab. Please log on with the Administrator.
See also the checklists by types of printing and operating systems on P.86 Printing Problems (Network Related)
Corrective Action
See the checklist below to determine if the cause of the problem is related to a network.
If it is, see P.86 Printing Problems (Network Related). In that section, several OS- and printing method-based check
lists are provided to help you find the appropriate action to take.
Corrective Action
SMB print is supposed to be utilized in a small network. If you can use Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows
Server 2003, or Windows Server 2008 as a print server, printing via the Windows Print Server is recommended.
If you cannot use the Windows Print Server in your network, use LPR print instead.
Corrective Action
If the errors above occur with AppleTalk print, use LPR print instead.
Client Problems
This section describes how to identify and correct the problems caused by the clients* connected to the equipment.
* One of the common examples of clients is a computer that sends a print job to the equipment and makes it perform printing.
Another possible cause is one related to a client. If the print jobs sent from a specific client within a network fail, the
problem may be caused by the client.
The checklist below will help you identify the source of the error and direct you to information resolving the problem. If the
problem persists after you have followed all of the steps, contact your service representative.

Hardware Problems
This section describes troubles caused by the hardware device (the equipment).
If an icon or a message indicating an error is not displayed, or the problems in the printer drivers or the network connection
cannot be specified, a hardware problem is a possible cause of the trouble.
Corrective Action
There remains a possibility that improper settings of the software such as printer drivers caused the problem. However, a
hardware error is possible, if none of the clients can print the jobs. Try the steps on the checklist below. If the problem

CONNECTIONS
This chapter describes how to troubleshoot the problems on network connections.
Corrective Action
Improper settings may cause problems in locating the equipment in the network. Try the checklist below to detect the
cause of the problem. If the problem remains unsolved, contact your service representative.
Corrective Action
The equipment is normally located automatically by SNMP. When the TWAIN driver, File Downloader, Address Book
Viewer, Backup/Restore Utility, Remote Scan driver, N/W-Fax driver or printer driver cannot automatically discover the
equipment over the network, the most likely cause is limitations of the protocols supported by the computer. In some
cases, you need to add or update network components; however, first see the checklist below to fix the problem.

Corrective action
Make sure all print jobs have been completed before deleting a port. If there are still problems, exit all applications and try
again. Check each driver to see if another driver is using the same port. If so, first change the drivers port setting and
delete the port.
Corrective action
Delete the driver and either reinstall it from the Client Utilities CD-ROM or download it from this equipment.
Corrective action
Communication between the N/W-Fax driver and this equipment failed. Make sure that this equipment is operating. If not,
turn its power ON.
Connect the N/W-Fax driver with this equipment through the TopAccess. If the connection fails, reboot the computer and
this equipment.
The fax jobs are not listed on the Logs - Transmission screen in
TopAccess
Problem description
When confirming the fax job logs on the Logs - Transmission screen in TopAccess, the fax jobs that are sent are not
displayed.
Corrective action
If the relevant fax job is not included in the Log list, your transmission job may not have been performed. In this case,
search for jobs without the department code in the JOB STATUS - FAX on the control panel. Then select the relevant fax
job and press the [SEND] button to resend it.
Corrective action
Set the file name of the printer driver in 30 letters or less.
Corrective Action
If you cannot log into the equipment using client software, contact the administrator of the equipment. Since the user name
and password registered in the client software are used for authentication in the case of automatic login, the log-in screen
may not be displayed.
