If you try to print an image larger than this from these applications, the bottom of the image may be
clipped. To print the whole image, try these suggestions:

enables you to print successfully in this situation. You will not normally need to change the default
setting, which is Auto. However, you can find the option in the Advanced tab, under Document
Options > Printer Features.

●

Save the file in another format, such as TIFF or EPS, and open it with another application.

●

Use a RIP to print the file.

Some objects are missing from the printed image

Large quantities of data may be necessary to print a high-quality large-format print job, and in some
specific workflows there may be issues that can lead to some objects missing from the output. Here are
some suggestions to help you to avoid this problem.

●

Select a smaller page size and scale to the desired final page size in the driver or in the front panel.

●

Save the file in another format, such as TIFF or EPS, and open it with another application.

●

Use a RIP to print the file.

●

Reduce the resolution of bitmap images in your application software.

●

Select a lower print quality in order to reduce the resolution of the printed image.

●

In the Advanced tab of the Windows driver dialog, select Document options, Printer features,
then set Max. application resolution to 300.

NOTE:

The above settings are mentioned for troubleshooting purposes and may adversely affect

the final output quality or the time necessary to generate the print job. Therefore, they should be
restored to their default values if they do not help to solve the problem.

the problem has been solved.
