Our MAC 1200 is not printing. The paper runs through fine but nothing prints out. Where can I send it to get fixed and have a maintenance run? Thank you. Dale

hi,
it doesn't uses any ink. printout is given by a thermal printer on wax or chemical paper. if print out is not coming ,then there may be possibility of the thermal printer head become damaged.
also check the battery .
ok

Maybe its just the connections. check your usb cable if connected properly. or try to use the printer in windows environment to make sure that your printer is ok.

when i searched the epson database for rx580, there is no model like that. Its epson stylus 580
for drivers

Did you run a test print? And then check and clean the print nozzles:
Make sure there is paper.
Press the "Maintenance" button once to display an A.
Press Black or Color
Let it run its cycles.

If there is still no print:
Press "Maintenance" button twice to display an H
Press Black or Color
Print "nozzle check"
Let it run it's cycles.

Still nothing:
Press "Maintenance" button until an M
Press Black or Color
Print "nozzle check"
Let it run its cycles.

Still nothing:
Replace BOTH cartridges and repeat the first nozzle check.
If this doesn't work, contact Canon

clean paper pick up roller whit wet cloth or alcohol, clean registartion assy check paper path for small pieces of paper or something... good luck

try to reload your catridge on the carrier or cartridge holder..
and clean your printer tab circuit and also the cartridge tab circuit and run maintenance page on it..
go to your printer panel and select maintenance ..browse clean printhead..and print maintenance page..to clean the cartridge..

Hi,
Below you can see a step by step procedure on how to change the print quality of your work....you need to make test printouts in order for you to see the results....at the end there is a link to the manual for your printer...GOOD LUCK!!!

Print-quality settings affect print resolution and toner usage.
Use the following procedure to change print-quality settings:
1. Open the printer Properties (or Printing Preferences in Windows 2000 and XP).
2. On the Paper/Quality tab or the Finishing tab (the Paper Type/Quality tab for some Mac drivers),
select the print quality setting you want to use. The following options are available:
● 1200 dpi: This setting uses ProRes 1200 to provide fine-line detail at 1200 x 1200 dpi.
● 1200 dpi effective output quality: This setting provides 1200 dpi effective output quality
using FastRes 1200.
● 600 dpi: This setting provides 600 x 600 dpi output with Resolution Enhancement technology
(REt) for improved text.
● EconoMode: Text is printed using less toner. This setting is useful when you are printing
drafts. You can turn on this option independently of other print-quality settings.

Manual

First of all we need to establish if the printer actually prints anything. Disconnect from PC and try photocopying a document. If it prints a blank page then it is most likely to be clogged print heads. Use the maintenance button to run the print head cleaning cycle, it may take 4 or 5 attempts. If still nothing then leave for about 10 hours and run another set of head cleans. If still not printing you may need to apply a head cleaning solution such as this one:

If the photocopy prints OK then the problem is more likely to be software & driver related on the PC. Make sure that the USB cable is good and check that all USB ports are showing OK in your device manager. Completely uninstall old printer drivers and try a fresh installation.

Good luck, please take a moment to rate this solution. Thanks.

are you using leopard os x? when you said you loaded the driver for the printer, did you use the disk that came with the printer?

You need a new print head.....if your pixy is 3 years oldish...only thing that worked for mine try ebay or states.

I am not clear with the quarry you ask but what I understand that you can print larger the A4.so in all Konica Minolta printers which I have used we must specify the paper size before printing in the printer properties and confirm that the same paper size we have putt in the printer’s tray. if more then one trays and installed in the printer the printer can print all available paper size without specify them. But spouse if you send a legal size print to the printer and there in no legal size paper in the paper tray then it will show a error.
What I think it is paper size issues please check it and make sure the trays are fixed to the size which you putt in.
