Check that the printer driver’s Brightness and Contrast settings (PC driver) or Light/Dark setting (Macintosh driver) are appropriate for the image.
If you scanned the image, the different color interpretation technologies used by your scanner, monitor, and printer can never produce an exact color match with the original image. However, check your scanner documentation for utilities you can use to calibrate your scanner to your monitor and printer to more closely match colors.
If you are printing from a DOS application using economy mode, black text or graphics will appear gray on your printout; turn off economy mode to achieve deeper blacks.
Printing starts too high or too low on the page, or the page length or margins are not what you expect.
Make sure you selected the correct Paper Size option in the printer driver; see your Setup and Software Guide for instructions.
Use your software program to adjust the margins, or change the number of lines per page, or change the page length setting to match the paper you are using.
Change the loading position of the paper using Default setting mode as described in Chapter 2.
Problems with Printing
If you cannot get the printer to print, first check that paper is loaded in the printer. Then check that the printer is plugged into a working electrical outlet that is not controlled by a switch or timer. Verify that the interface cable is securely connected to the printer and computer. If all this is correct, see the following specific problems.
