‘’Garbage’’ prints

Reason: Incorrect driver is installed.

Solution: Install the appropriate driver (See the Quick Start

Guide)

Printer’s output is below rated speed

Reason: Delays are caused by software formatting routines

graphics downloads, and other application-specific factors.

Solution: Add RAM, reduce resolution, or set host computer’s

ECP parallel port to on. For maximum speed, output plain

text.

Size of top margin increases with each page printed

Reason: “Creeping text.” Number of lines per page in

software is not equal to number of lines per page of printer.

Solution: Many software packages assume 66 lines per page

but printer’s default is 60. Adjust software accordingly or

set LINES/PG in Menu 1 to equal lines per page in

software.

Strange symbols appear during normal printing

Reason: Wrong symbol set.

Solution: Make sure the symbol set selected corresponds to

symbol set resident, or soft font.

Hardware Problems

Certain error messages (See “Printer Messages” at the

beginning of this chapter) indicate a hardware problem. Other

possible hardware problems are listed below:

Graphic image prints partly on one page partly on the

next

Reason: Insufficient printer memory for image at set

resolution.

Solution: Change the resolution, reduce the image size, or

install more memory.
