Sounds like the display backlight has failed. Need to replace the display.

    Ok thats different then what I understood you to mean by no display.

    Have you taken the display off and just disconnected and reconnected the cables to the display. All of them that run to or are part of the display. Those mostly are communication cables for the display. Also track them back if you can to the main board and reseat them at that location. I have seen those connectors just be loose frequently when you get no message on the display but machines operate.

    I am sorry , when I read your post, I assumed a simply dead display. Still possible that the display itself is bad, but since you see the display lighting the power supply is working to and on the board.

    Try the connections and see what happens. If it was software related you would see gibberish. Just letters and numbers that mean nothing. Even just astrisks and solid blocks. If it was relaved to the non volitle memory the display would just show solid black blocks about a quarter inch square in about 8-10 rows.

Hi dear sir I have Ricoh 700 machine it was working fine but yesterday it's got some problem when I switch on its showing ready when i make the copy its scan the paper but not print stay on same place but...

You should try resetting the machine if you can. Taking out power cord will not reset machine. The micro chip has to be reset on the machine. If test / counter print works but copy doesn't work, then reset machine.

WHY CAN'T PRINTER PRINT THOUGH CONNECTED. AT FIRST IT USED TO PRINT BUT LATER ON UT HAS REMAINED SILENT

Not much to go on, but if something stops doing it used to do normal before, try to go back in time, to discover if you changed anything.
Also check if the copier is still connected and it is not switched off.
Actually, if you start a copy, it should work, or give a message on the display why it does not work.
Restart the machine and try to copy again. watch if anything is on the display. If nothing lights up, start checking the power outlet and if the power cable is still connected to the machine. Then check if the power switch is working and so on.

I have a Canon MP830 & I can't print or send a fax Error message 300 - I can't turn off the printer - & it says I have 10% in memory. it is also making a clicking noise

Hi there,
Error No. 300 :

Cause 1: The machine is not ready.
Action : Ensure that the lamp on the Operation Panel lights.
If the lamp on the Operation Panel is off, turn the machine on.
While [COPY] is flashing, the machine is initializing. Wait until [COPY] stops flashing and stays lit.
When the Alarm Lamp lights orange, an error may occur in the machine.

Cause 2 : Machine is not proper connected.
Action : Ensure that the printer cable is securely connected to the computer/
* If using a switching hub or other devices, disconnect the machine and reconnect it directly to the computer and try printing again. If successful, the problem may have been with the device.
* There could also be a problem with the cable(s). Replace the cable and try printing again.

Cause 3 : The name of the machine being used is not selected in the [Printer] pull down menu of the [Print]dialog box.
Action : Select [MP830] from the [Printer] pop-up menu in the [Print] dialog box of the printer driver.
If the [MP830] is not displayed in the printer list, follow the procedure below to confirm the settings.
1) Select [ Print abd Fax Preferences] from the [Printer] pop-up menu.
2) Check that [MP830] is displayed in the screen that is displayed and select the [InMenu] checkbox.
3) If [MP830] is not displyed, click [+] to add a printer.
If [MP830] is not displayed, install the MP Drivers again referring to the Easy Setup Instructions for the operations.

Hope this helps. Please rate my response.
Thanks.
Have a good day.

Solid red light after flashing firmware

These are the 3 things listed as being wrong for the status light being solid red:
1. Media is out. Reload a new supply. Press feed button to
continue.
2. Power-up failure. Switch power OFF then back ON.
3. Printer ready to receive flash programming during
firmware download.


There's a programming manual available for download on Zebra's website: https://www.zebra.com/id/zebra/na/en/index/resource_library/manuals.results.html
It might help.
