The output contains only a partial print ● If you pressed Cancel before the printer received all the data, you ended the data transmission and will have to print the page again. ● The I/O timeout setting might be too short. This setting determines how long the printer waits for the computer to send more data, before deciding that the job is finished. On the front panel, increase the I/O timeout setting to a longer period and then send the print again by selecting the Connectivity menu icon , then Advanced > Select I/O timeout. ● A communications problem between your computer and the printer might exist. Check your network cable. ● Check that your software settings are correct for your current page size (for example, long-axis prints). ● If you are using network software, make sure that it has not timed out. The image is clipped Clipping normally indicates a discrepancy between the actual printable area on the loaded paper and the printable area as described by your software. You can often identify this kind of problem before printing by previewing your print. See Preview a print on page 87. ● Check the actual printable area for the paper size that you have loaded. printable area = paper size - margins ● Check what your software understands to be the printable area (which it might cite as "printing area" or "imageable area"). For example, some software programs assume standard printable areas that are larger than those used in this printer. ● If you have defined a custom page size that has very narrow margins, the printer might impose its own minimal margins and clip your image slightly.

Some programs, such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and CorelDRAW, use an internal 16-bit coordinate system which means that they cannot handle an image of more than 32,768 pixels. If you try to print a larger image, the bottom of the image will be clipped. To print the entire image, try these suggestions: ● If you are using an HP-GL/2 driver, you can reduce the resolution so that the whole image requires fewer than 32,768 pixels.
