TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshooting
Note: For more troubleshooting tips, please refer to the electronic Reference Guide, which is

Things to try...
If the Data Light is off, check the power

Reduce the complexity of the print job;
Do not send the entire job to the printer,
instead print it in sections, i.e., pp 1-5,
pp 6-10, etc.; Reduce the print resolution,
i.e., from 1200 dpi to 600 dpi; Add a
minimum of 8MB of additional memory.
In PCL driver, change your Image
Quality mode to raster and select text
mode: download as bitmap image.
If you have any intermediate device
between PC and printer, please remove
device and connect printer directly to PC.
