CHAPTER 6 TROUBLESHOOTING

Printing

Question

The printer prints unexpectedly or it prints garbage.

The printer cannot print full pages of a document. An error message “Print Overrun” occurs.

The printer prints the first couple of pages correctly, then some pages have text missing. (For HL-730/730Plus series Only)

The printer cannot print full pages of a document. A "Memory Full" error message occurs.

(For HL-730/730Plus series Only)

My headers or footers appear when I view my document on screen but do not show up when I print them.

Recommendation

∙Turn on and off the printer or reset the printer.

∙Make sure your application software is correctly set up to use this printer by checking the printer settings in your application software.

∙Check the printer emulation settings. If you can use the supplied RPC program, use it to change the settings as required. Also, you can print the current setting list from the RPC program or Printer Control Panel. (For HL-730/730Plus series Only)

∙Make sure that the correct interface type and settings are set up to match your computer. Be sure to use the RS-422A serial interface for Macintosh computers and the RS-232C serial interface for PCs. Refer to “SERIA L INTERFACE BOARD RS100M” in Chapter 4. (For HL-730/730Plus series Only)

The printer received a very complex print job and could not process part of the page. This may be solved by the following ways.

∙If you are using Windows 95 or Windows 3.1 with the supplied printer driver, see the “Setting up the Printer for Windows” section.

∙Try to reduce the complexity of your document or reduce the print resolution.

This is a problem usually relating to serial interface settings. Your computer is not recognizing the printer’s input buffer full signal. Causes could be incorrect serial cable (incorrectly wired or too long) or incorrect setting of your computer serial interface.

∙Expand the printer memory by installing one of the optional memory boards.

∙Reduce the printer resolution.

∙Reduce the complexity of your document and try again.

∙Reduce the graphic quality or the number of font sizes within your application software.

Most laser printers have a restricted area that cannot be printed on. Usually the first two lines and last two lines of text cannot print (leaving 62 printable lines). Adjust the top and bottom margins in your document to allow for this.

HL-700 Series specifications

The Brother HL-700 Series represents a unique blend of performance, reliability, and efficiency designed to meet the needs of both home users and small businesses. Launched during the late 1990s, this series has built a reputation for high-quality printing and user-friendly operation, making it a popular choice for various printing tasks.

One of the standout features of the Brother HL-700 Series is its impressive print speed. Capable of delivering up to 8 pages per minute, this printer significantly boosts productivity for users who require rapid document production. Furthermore, the device utilizes laser technology, ensuring sharp, crisp text and detailed graphics. This technology not only enhances print quality but also reduces the likelihood of smudging and blurring, which can be common with inkjet printers.

The HL-700 Series includes various models, catering to a wide range of printing needs. These models typically boast a high resolution of 600 x 600 dpi, providing exceptional clarity and professionalism in printed materials. Additionally, the series supports a variety of media sizes, allowing users to print everything from standard letter-size documents to custom-sized materials.

User convenience is a notable characteristic of the Brother HL-700 Series. The printers are designed with straightforward controls and a simple interface, making setup and operation easy for even the most novice users. The series also features a compact design that allows it to fit comfortably on desks or in small office spaces without compromising functionality.

Another significant advantage of the HL-700 Series is its cost-effective operation. Utilizing toner cartridges with a high page yield, users enjoy a lower cost per page compared to traditional inkjet printers. This is particularly beneficial for businesses with high-volume printing needs, as it reduces overall printing costs and frequency of replacements.

Network connectivity is another important feature of the HL-700 Series. Many models come with built-in parallel or USB connection options, enabling users to easily integrate the printer into existing office networks. This capability allows for shared access among multiple users, streamlining the printing process in multi-user environments.

In summary, the Brother HL-700 Series is a versatile option for anyone seeking reliable and efficient printing solutions. With its laser technology, impressive speed, high-resolution output, user-friendly design, and cost-saving features, it stands as an excellent choice for both personal and professional use.
