Check: Make sure that the On Line/Error LED is on.

Solution: In the Ready mode, the On Line/Error LED lights green. If the On Line/Error LED lights red or blinks.

Check: Press and hold the Cancel button to print a demo page.

Solution:

  1. If a demo page does not print, check the paper supply in the input tray.
  2. If the paper jams in the printer, go to “Clearing Paper Jams”

Check: Print a short document from a software application to verify that the computer and printer are connected and are communicating correctly.

Solution:

  1. If the page does not print, check the cable connection between the printer and the computer.
  2. Check the print queue or print spooler to see if the printer has been paused.
  3. Check the software application to ensure you are using the proper printer driver and communication port.

Problem: The Printer does not print

Solution:

  1. The printer is not receiving power. Check the power cord connections. Check the power switch and the power source.
  2. The printer is not selected as the default printer. Select Samsung ML-1710 Series in the Printer folder in Windows as your default printer
  3. Check the printer for the following: • The printer cover is not closed. • Paper is jammed. • No paper is loaded. • The toner cartridge is not installed. If a printer system error occurs, contact your service representative.
  4. The printer may be in Manual Feed mode. Add paper to the manual feeder and press the Cancel button on the printer’s control panel to begin printing.
  5. The connection cable between the computer and the printer is not connected properly. Disconnect the printer cable and reconnect it.
  6. The connection cable between the computer and the printer is defective. If possible, attach the cable to another computer that is working properly and print a job. You can also try using a different printer cable.
  7. The port setting is incorrect. Check the Windows printer setting to make sure that the print job is sent to the correct port (for example, LTP1). If the computer has more than one port, make sure that the printer is attached to the correct one.
  8. The printer may be configured incorrectly. Check the printer properties to ensure that all print settings are correct.
  9. The printer driver may be incorrectly installed. Reinstall the printer driver.
  10. The printer is malfunctioning. Check the LEDs on the control panel to determine if the printer is indicating a system error.
