In the Windows HP-GL/2 driver, click the Advanced tab, select Document options > Printer features, and then set Max. Application resolution to 300. The printer seems slow Here are some possible explanations: ● Did you set the print quality to Best? Images printed with the Best print-quality setting require more time to print. ● Did you specify the correct paper type when loading the paper? Check that the paper type that appears on the front panel matches the paper that is loaded in the printer. ● Is your printer connected to a network? Check that all components used in the network (network interface cards, hubs, routers, switches, and cables) are capable of high-speed operation. Is there a lot of traffic from other devices on the network? ● Did you set the drying time to Extended? Try changing the drying time to Automatic. See Change the drying time on page 32. ● Are the printheads in good condition? Printing time might increase when a printhead needs cleaning. Check the printhead status on the front panel or through the Embedded Web Server. Clean or replace printheads if necessary. ● Do your image contain high-density, black fills? Printing time might increase for images containing highdensity, black fills. Folding device errors If the printer displays an error message from the folding device, see the documentation of the folding device for guidance. In such cases, the printer's front panel shows only a simple message about the internal error of the folding device and how to restore printer operation. Communication failures between computer and printer Some symptoms are: ● The front-panel display does not show the Receiving message when you have sent an image to the printer. ● Your computer shows an error message when you try to print. ● Your computer or printer stalls when transferring data. ● Your printed output shows random or inexplicable errors (misplaced lines, partial graphics, and so on). To solve a communication problem: ● Make sure that you have selected the correct printer in your software program. ● Make sure that the printer works correctly when printing from other software programs. ● Remember that large images usually require more time to receive, process, and print. 164 Chapter 20 Troubleshoot other issues ENWW
