SOFTWARE PROBLEMS
B273 4-44 SM
4.11.2 PRINTER DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY 2
Description: After receiving the print command there is either no response or the
print speed is slower than normal. Incorrect machine set-up and printer malfunction
are the causes of this condition.
Description Solution
Not enough free hard disk space to
accommodate temporary work files created
during printing. ‘Insufficient Printer Memory’ message means
there is a hard disk space problem, rather
than a printer RAM problem. In this condition,
provide more space on the hard disk with the
disk utilities program.
Printer error occurs even if there is enough
space in the hard disk. Ensure that the connection between the cable
and printer port is correct. Ensure that the port
settings in CMOS are correct, if you use the
parallel port.
Parallel port related problems in the CMOS
set-up. Select ECP for the printer port. SPP and
normal modes support 8-bit data transfer.
ECP mode supports 12-bit data transfer.
System needs to reboot to print.
The cable of printer driver may be defective if
regular fonts do not get printed. At this time
turn off the PC and reboot the system. If the
problem persists, double click the printer icon
in “My Computer”. Replace the cable if the
regular fonts are still not printed.
