CHAPTER 4 TROUBLESHOOTING Problem My headers or footers appear when I view my document on screen but do not show up when I print them. (For connecting using the RS-232C/422A interface on HL-1250 Only) The printer prints the first couple of pages correctly, then some pages have text missing. Recommendation • Most laser printers have a restricted area that cannot be printed on. Usually the first two lines and the last two lines of a page cannot have print (leaving 62 printable lines). Adjust the top and bottom margins in your document to allow for this. • This is a problem usually relating to serial interface settings. Your computer is not recognizing the printer's input buffer full signal. This could be caused by incorrect serial cable (incorrectly wired or too long) or incorrect setting of your computer serial interface. For DOS users (For HL-1240/1250 Only) Problem The printer prints, but it prints incorrect information. Sometimes it prints a couple of characters and then ejects the page, etc.. Recommendation • This is an indication that your application printer emulation setting and the printer's emulation do not match. Check in your application software which printer you have selected to make sure the printer is set up correctly. Remember the printer emulate widely used printer selections: HL-1240 (HP LaserJet IIP) / HL-1250 (HP LaserJet 6P, Epson FX-850 and IBM Proprinter XL).
