The FARGO driver displays an error message saying there is insufficient memory from which to print.

The FARGO driver displays an error message saying there is not enough room on the disk.

The FARGO driver displays an error message saying that the printer cannot be found on the network.

■Is MultiFinder turned on (applies only to System 6)? If so, try quitting from the application and setting the application memory size to a higher value (2Mb). Try turning MultiFinder off and re-starting the Macintosh before printing.

■Try setting the driver to Draft quality. Close all Desk Accessories and document windows, other than the one from which you wish to print. Turn off any options in the application that consume memory, such as ÒUse available memory for speed.Ó Save what you are working on, quit from the application, and re-start to clean up the memory of the Macintosh.

■Use the FARGO Backgrounder for processing a batch print (see the ÒBatch PrintingÓ section of this manual). As a last resort you should remove any INIT and CDEV files in your System Folder that you donÕt need.

■When the driver is printing in Draft or High quality, it stores the pages to be printed from the document in a temporary file. This file is usually in the System Folder and is called the ÒSpool FileÓ (some applications may re-name the file or put it in a different folder). In some cases, the spool file can become very large, particularly if the images are complex, such as scanned photographs. The following points help reduce the risk of running low on disk space.

■Always start up from the hard disk. The driver creates the spool file on the current startup disk. A floppy disk will probably not have sufficient space on it.

■The driver puts all the pages to be printed into a single spool file. If you have only a little space left on the hard disk, you can print each page from the document individually, using the From and To fields in the Print dialog box.

■Make sure that the printer is visible from the Chooser and that its name is listed and selected. If it is not visible, make sure that the printer has power and is connected to AppleTalk network or the printer port of the Macintosh. Try disconnecting and re-applying power to the printer. Try connecting the printer directly to the printer port of the Macintosh.

■Make sure that the AppleTalk network is properly terminated as specified by the network manufacturer.
