Possible causes and solutions are:

 

• A wrong printer driver is selected. Select

 

 

the PrintPartner 10V or 14V printer driver

 

 

as the document printer.

 

• The document contains unknown printer

 

 

commands. Remove any setup strings or

 

 

embedded commands, or print the

 

 

document with a Text only or ASCII text

 

 

print option.
