Incomplete Printout of Graphic Image on Laser Printer

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

When you insert a graphic image into a document and print the file to a laser printer, an incomplete printout of the graphic occurs if there is not enough memory in the printer to process the graphic image.

For the HP LaserJet, as a recommended guideline for a full-page 300 dpi graphic to be processed completely, the printer needs 1 MB of memory.

The solution is to either reduce the size of the graphic or decrease the resolution of the image.

= MORE INFORMATION =

When printing across a network, a graphic often may be partially printed out on one page and the remaining part printed out on the following page. In this case, this problem is due to a timeout error that occurs because of the length of time it takes to process the file. Reducing the resolution is one workaround, another workaround is to print the document to a file and then from DOS, copy the print file to the printer.
