Problem Solutions

correct positions or the
characters near the edges of the
page are missing. • Check and specify the paper size and orientation settings in the printer
driver to coincide with the application.
• Check if the specified paper is loaded in the Panasonic Device.
• Increase the Page Margins in the application. The Panasonic Device
requires minimum margins of ¼ inches (4 mm) on all sides.
The font type is wrong. • Check if the selected font is installed in the PC.
• Check if the selected font is being replaced with a proper printer font in
the Font Substitution Table of the Printer Driver Properties dialog box.
• Select “Always use TrueType fonts” from the Font tab of the Printer
Driver Properties dialog box.
The character is not smooth. • Select a outline font instead of a bit map font.

Different character or symbol
from the document is printed. • Check if the Panasonic Printing System (PCL) printer driver is selected.

anything or prints irregular

st

• Insufficient Printer Page Memory in the Panasonic Device, install an
Expansion D-RAM Card or change the resolution to 300 dpi in the
Quality tab of the Printer Driver Properties dialog box.
Printing is exceedingly slow. • Select the Spool settings “Start printing after first page is spooled”
from the Details tab of the Printer Driver Properties dialog box.
