Having trouble printing from my Mac to the printer.

Definately CMYK so you can see which colors are out of gamut. If copies are lousy too, then you might have old supplies in the machine. In service sim mode (type # * C *) go to 64-5 and print the test charts directly from the print engine. You should get one greyscale and one color page. If those look bad, then you need a supply change (drum, developer, or belts). In the driver under Printing preferences you have the option to set color schemes until you find one that works. If you still have trouble, get a new driver from www.sharpusa.com, past that a firmware flash may be necessary.

up date driver

If the colors in your document don’t look right, you can change whether colors are managed by ColorSync or your printer.
To change color management options for printing:
Open the document you want to print.
Choose File > Print.
If the Print dialog contains only two pop-up menus and some buttons across the bottom, click the disclosure triangle beside the Printer pop-up menu.
Choose Color Matching from the print options pop-up menu.
Select one of the following options:
Select ColorSync if you want the application you’re using to control the color management of the printed output.
Select “In printer” if you want the printer you’re using to control the color management of the printed output.
If you select ColorSync and don’t believe the correct profile is selected for your printer, you may be able to change it. If you see a Profile pop-up menu, choose Other Profiles from the pop-up menu, and select a new one.
I hope this info will help to sort out your problem..Regards

Hello, You can print a page in black in your Mac OS by following the steps given below. 1. From the File menu, choose Print. The Print dialog box appears, and the Copies & Pages panel opens. 2.. Change the color settings to black in the pop-up menu. 3. Click Print to begin printing. Good luck, ~regards, Jegan

To copy press Start (Black/Color) on front panel.
Same process to reset to the magnification.

• Remove the cartridges.

• Turn off the printer.

• If the cartridges are leaking, put the print head on some tissue, so it can extract the excess ink. With a dry cloth, clean your scanner. Look inside the printer. If there is ink in there too, clean it. Use a lot of tissue or toilet paper. Might put some gloves on too.

• When you make sure that the cartridges are not leaking anymore, gently wipe the electric contacts on them, and clean the ones on the cartridge carrier.

• Turn the printer on.
• Try printing.
• If the cartridge light keeps flashing:

1. If a computer message indicates a specific cartridge, that is the problem cartridge.
2. If there is no computer message, look at the Start Copy lights - if the Black Start Copy light is blinking, the cartridge on the right is the problem cartridge.
   
3. If the Color Start Copy light is blinking, the cartridge on the left is the problem cartridge.

If you find out which cartridge is the problem, you will need to replace it.
Unfortunately, the ink that has leaked inside, might have damaged your printer.

You may have got a bad ink cartridge, I would try changing it again to see if that helps!!

press menu then start bk copy then fourtimes arrow-up quickly after another. machine will be in maintenance mode (all lights will flash).
