Application Software
Isolating a problem to your software
Sometimes printing problems are application software-specific.
Try printing the test file on the system CD. If the test file prints, the printer’s health is probably good.
Try printing a simple file from your application or from another application. If this prints correctly, the problem
may be with your software.
If you are using a Windows application and the file does not print from Windows, try printing a file from EFPU. If
this prints correctly, your problem may be with your Windows driver or Windows setup.
Difficulty generating prints ranging from A to E size
Many software applications limit the maximum print size to “C” or “D” size due to the way that they map their
internal coordinate system to memory.
