Chapter 5 - Troubleshooting
Printing is not working or is extremely slow
Is the free space on the hard disk fragmented?
The time required for printing can increase dramatically if the free space on
the disk is extremely fragmented. Clean up your files and defragment the
disk by periodically using a defragment utility.
Do you have enough disk space?
Make sure there is enough empty space on your hard disk. (The working
space is released once printing is finished.)
When there is just barely enough working space left on the disk, printing
may take much longer than normal.
Are you using many applications at one time?
When very little memory is available for print processing, printing may take
a long time or fail. Close as many applications as possible and try again.
Is the room temperature very high?
High room temperature can slow down the printing speed.
Connection Method
Can I connect multiple printers to a single computer?
If different SCSI device numbers are used, multiple printers can be connected
to a single Macintosh. Of course, simultaneous printing is not possible.
Can I connect a single printer to multiple computers?
No, the printer is not designed for this.
Other problems and operations
EPS files cannot be output clearly.
Since EPS files are data files for PostScript printers, images at 72 dpi may
be output from QuickDraw depending on the application.
Are enlargements and reductions possible?
Set either the enlargement or the reduction rate in the Reduce or Enlarge
setting in the Page Setup dialog box.
