SOURCE: Printer will only print page 1 of multiple page documents

1. Check that you are using the latest print driver - from kyocera website.
2. If the issue is when you print pdf files then make sure you set the printer in KPDL Auto mode - check the print driver settings about this and the printer menu.
3.You may check if you have the latest firmware installed within the printer - print a service status page (Menu->Others->Service).

In this case what i would request u to do is.......
Take out both the catridges from the Printer.........
Take 2 Paper Towels one should be wet with Luke warm water and the other one should be dry...........
Take the Colour catridge first turn it upside down and u will see a small copper plate on the catridge from where the ink comes out.......
Place the wet paper towel using ur thumb on the Copper plate and press it a lit bit for 10 Seconds......
Now remove it and see whether u see any ink on the paper towel..........
U should see some ink on it now place the dry paper towel on the ink catridge in the same way........
Now do the same procedure again..........
Do the same procedure twice on the Black Catridge.................
Now take the dry paper towel and turn the direction of the cartridge so that u can see a Copper plate on it with small boxes just clean that copper plate with the Dry Paper Towel..........
Know insert both the catridges inside the Printer...........
Good Luck

SOURCE: My Kyocera FS-C5030N is printing blank pages

there are a good few possibilities... your cheapest route is to call a local service tech... anything I tell you is going to cost you more... call him and see what he says... but I am leaning towards bad ram best case and worst case a blown main board...

How to stop printing

While your question is not quite clear, I will provide a couple of suggestions. Usually when you press the cancel button, it pauses the printer and then you must use the arrow keys to select cancel job and then press the checkmark. Also check any computers to make sure that they do not have a job in their print queue. If the printer does not send back a job complete command, sometimes the computer will keep resending the job. Failing all else, restart your computer and your printer. Are the pages that are printing gibberish or is it the correct print job? If gibberish, you might have a corrupted print driver or the file you are printing might be corrupted.

Hi i have Xerox 7760DN with both ps anc pcl enabled - there's a 68 page document getting prited everytime the printer is turned with bunch of gibbersih from startup. DO you know the resolution for

Sounds like a print job was sent to that printer using the wrong print driver. Unplug the printer from the network and see if it only prints the startup page. If so, then you need everyone to cancel the print jobs they sent to this printer. Then hook the network cable back to the printer and see if a print job can be sent to it (one that has worked in the past). I suspect someone has an old printer driver that is using this machines IP address to print to and it is confusing the Image Processor Board...

Printer keeps printing one line gibberish and then scrolls on

1) click the printer icon in the tasktray to open the printer tasks and delete any active print jobs, and wait for the task to be deleted.

2) power off the printer and power it back on that should clear it.

3) you may need to power it on and off more than once.

How to interrupt a printing job and cancel it

Hi, I hope I can help.

Your printer has some of the pages stored in memory, and your computer also has some of the pages stored in the memory (spooler) on your computer.

If you turn off the printer, the computer thinks the printer went off-line and it waits for it to come back on, and then just keep churning off pages. OR.... Something will get messed up and 100's of garbage pages will start churning out.

The deal is to clean out the memory on the printer, AND clean out the spooler on the computer.

Simplest way (hopefully) is to turn off both units. That may solve it. However, sometimes the spooler on the computer will keep trying to print. Down in the lower right hand corner of your screen should be a picture of a printer. Double click that and you'll see the print job. You should be able to select the print job, hit delete, and clear it from the spooler.

Hope this works.

Printing Gibberish

I presume you have some sort of Win OS, if if you don't the First thing is to go to Start, select printers, select the printer in question, rt click on your printer, select properties, you will see "print test page", click see what the result is. If it won't print or is garbage, your driver is moast likely corrupt. Uninstall the drivers, (if it is USB connected - unplug the USB connection) for your printer. Shut-down your PC. Restart then Re-install the most current version of your printer driver that you can download. That should fix it. HTH.BOL.
