Solution

 

 

Illegal operation/General

This error indicates that a problem occurred in

protection fault/Spool 32 Windows with your computer system resources

error

(memory or hard disk).

 

To clear this error, restart your PC.

 

To help prevent this error from occurring in the

 

future, use some or all of the following

 

recommendations:

 

● Run fewer applications at the same time.

 

Close (rather than minimize) the applications

 

that you are not using at the current time.

 

Programs such as screen savers, virus

 

checkers, status software, fax/answering

 

software, and menu programs use the

 

resources that you might need in order to

 

print.

 

● Avoid performing memory intensive tasks

 

such as sending a fax or running a video clip

 

while printing.

 

● Delete all temp (“file_name.tmp”) files from

 

the Temp subdirectories. For example, the

 

subdirectory C:\Windows\Temp.

 

● Print at 300 dpi rather than 600 dpi.

 

● Use an alternate print driver (printer

 

software), such as software for the

 

HP LaserJet III. Note: Using a different driver

 

will remove access to some product features.

1100A specifications

The HP 1100 and 1100A are pivotal laser printers developed by Hewlett-Packard in the early 1990s, marking significant advancements in printing technology of their time. Since their introduction, these models have garnered a reputation for reliability and efficiency, making them a staple in many offices.

One of the standout features of the HP 1100 series is its fast printing speed. The printers can produce up to 12 pages per minute, which was an impressive feat at the time of their release. This speed significantly reduced waiting times, allowing users to handle large-volume printing jobs with ease. Furthermore, the printers support a variety of media types, including letterhead, envelopes, and labels, enhancing versatility in print applications.

The HP 1100 and 1100A utilize laser technology, which ensures sharp and high-quality prints. The printers have a native resolution of 600 x 600 dots per inch (DPI), enabling crisp text and detailed graphics. This high-resolution output made the models particularly favored for producing professional documents and presentations.

Another key characteristic is the generous memory capacity. The HP 1100 typically comes with 2 MB of standard RAM, which is expandable, allowing for improved performance in handling complex print jobs. Users can adjust the memory according to their requirements, resulting in better efficiency, particularly in environments that demand high-volume printing.

The HP 1100 series also showcases a straightforward and user-friendly operation. The built-in control panel simplifies the printing process, allowing users to manage jobs intuitively. Additionally, with the inclusion of parallel and later USB connectivity options, integration with various computer systems was seamless, ensuring compatibility with existing office infrastructure.

Energy efficiency is another aspect worth noting, as the printers are designed to consume minimal power when idle, aligning with the growing demand for eco-friendly solutions.

Overall, the HP 1100 and 1100A stand out for their robust construction, high-speed performance, exceptional print quality, and user-friendly features, making them a trusted choice for small to medium-sized businesses in need of dependable printing solutions. Their impact on the printing landscape during the 1990s continues to be felt today, as they paved the way for subsequent generations of laser printers.
