Check the margin settings If the text or graphics are cut off at the edges of the page, make sure the margin settings for the document do not exceed the printable area of your device. For more information, see Set minimum margins. Check the page-orientation setting Make sure the media size and page orientation selected in the application match the settings in the printer driver. For more information, see Change print settings. Check the device location and length of USB cable High electromagnetic fields (such as those generated by USB cables) can sometimes cause slight distortions to printouts. Move the device away from the source of the electromagnetic fields. Also, it is recommended that you use a USB cable that is less than 3 meters (9.8 feet) long to minimize the effects of these electromagnetic fields. If the above solutions do not work, the problem may be caused by the inability of the application to interpret print settings properly. See the release notes for known software conflicts, refer to the application's documentation, or contact the software manufacturer for specific help. The device prints half a page, then ejects the paper Check the ink cartridges Make sure the correct ink cartridges are installed and the ink cartridges are not low on ink.
