I was sent to look at an MPC7501, even though I don't work on them, as it looked like it was a connectivity problem when another tech looked at it this morning. When the customer sends a print job (all users, all print jobs) to the machine, the red light comes on, and paper mismatch occurs, when a tray is selected the job is printed, however, if they have asked for more than one set, then only one set is printed.
When I got there I printed the meter reading sheet and SMC data with no problem, but when I tried to print the config sheet I got the paper mismatch, I also got this when I tried to print the colour test pattern from printer SP. Changing the paper type in tray 1 from recycled to no display allowed the config sheet to print out without problem, although plain paper and recycled should be treated the same by the machine, but it still failed on the test pattern.
My first thoughts were a corrupt RAM, so I did memory clear on printer, NCS and engine data with no joy. I upgraded the firmware to the latest level, still no joy. And, just to satisfy myself that it wasn't anything to do with their network, I loaded the print driver onto my laptop and printed from there, exactly the same. I have escalated this onto our tech specialist within the team, but he can't get in there for a couple of days and has no idea yet what it could be, has anyone else ever come across this problem.
