= SUMMARY =

According to the Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet manual, Error 21 means that the “page formatting process is NOT fast enough for the printer.” However, this error can also occur if the document contains many paragraphs that have been formatted for zero line spacing with the Format Paragraph command.

The following two situations may occur with this message on the LaserJet:


 * 1) A memory overflow resulting from data being sent too fast.
 * 2) Data being dropped, resulting in a printed document that has spaces or is incomplete.
