Documents Print Incorrectly Using the Postscript Printing Software

If your document does not print correctly, try these solutions:

• If the file you are printing was created in an application that allows you to change the data format, such

as Adobe Photoshop, make sure the settings in the application match the printer driver settings.

• EPS files created in binary format may not print correctly. Try creating the file in ASCII format instead.

• In Windows, the product cannot print binary data if it is connected to the computer using a USB cable.

Try selecting

ASCII

TBCP

as the

Output Protocol

setting on the Device Settings tab in the printer

properties.

• In Windows, select the appropriate substitution fonts on the Device Settings tab in the printer

properties.

• If the printed colors are incorrect, try adjusting the

Color Mode

setting on the Advanced tab of the

printing software.

• If printing is slow, try selecting

Fast

as the

setting on the Advanced tab of the printing

software.
