Too much data was sent to the parallel port.

This error can occur if the driver you are using is not IEEE-1284 compliant. For best results, use an HP driver that came with the printer.

Too much data was sent to the serial port.

Check for a loose cable connection and be sure to use a high-quality cable. (Some non-HP parallel cables might be missing pin connections, or might otherwise not conform to the IEEE-1284 specification.)

Press [Go] to clear the error message. (Data will be lost.)

1.Make sure the correct serial pacing option is selected from the I/O Menu in the printer’s Control Panel.
