Hardware problems

Symptom

Problem

Solution

Printing is
garbled.

Incorrect driver is
installed.

Install an appropriate driver.

Printer’s output is
below rated
speed.

Much of the printing
delays will be
caused by your
application.
Sometimes purely
text documents will
print slowly
depending on the
selected fonts and
how they are
transferred to the
printer.

For maximum speed, use text in
your document and use a printer
resident font.

Size of top
margin increases
with each page
printed.

Creeping text.
Number of lines per
page in software is
not equal to number
of lines per page of
printer.

Many software packages assume
66 lines per page, but your
printer’s default is 64. Adjust
software accordingly, or set LINES
Per PAGE in the soft control panel
to equal lines per page in your
software.

Symptom

Problem

Solution
