There is another possible explanation for a clipped image. Some applications, such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and CorelDRAW, use an internal 16–bit coordinate system which means that they cannot handle an image of more than 32,768 pixels. If you try to print an image larger than this from these applications, the bottom of the image will be clipped. In this case, the only way to print the whole image is to reduce the resolution so that the whole image requires fewer than 32,768 pixels. The HP-GL/2 printer driver contains an option called Compatibility with 16-bit applications, which can be used to reduce the resolution of such images automatically. You can find this option by selecting the driver's Advanced tab, then Document options, then Printer features.

The image is in one portion of the printing area

●Have you selected too small a page size in your application?

●Does your application think that the image is in one portion of the page?

The image is unexpectedly rotated

At the front panel, select the icon, then Default printing options > Paper options > Rotate. Check that the setting is what you wanted.

For non-PostScript files: if Nesting is On, pages may be automatically rotated to save paper. See Rotate an image.

The print is a mirror image of the original

At the front panel, select the icon, then Default printing options > Paper options > Enable mirror. Check that the setting is what you wanted.

The print is distorted or unintelligible

●The interface cable connecting your printer to your network (or to your computer) could be faulty. Try another cable.

●If the front-panel graphic language setting is Automatic (the default), try the other settings: PostScript for a PostScript file, HP-GL/2for an HP-GL/2 file etc. (see Change the graphic language setting). Then send the file again.

●Depending on the software, drivers, and RIPs you are using with your printer, there will be different ways of solving this problem. Refer to the vendor's user documentation for details.

One image overlays another on the same sheet

The I/O timeout setting may be too long. From the front panel, decrease the setting and print again.

Select the icon, then I/O setup > Select I/O timeout.
