A PDF file is clipped or objects are missing

In older versions of Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader, large PDF files could be clipped or lose some objects when printing with the HP-GL/2 and HP RTL driver at high resolution. In order to avoid such problems, upgrade your Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader software to the latest version. From version 7 onwards, these problems should be solved.

If you still have a problem

If you still experience print-quality problems after applying the advice in this chapter, here are some further things that you can do:

●Try using a higher print-quality option. See Printing on page 42.

●Check the driver you are using to print with. If it is a non-HP driver, consult the driver vendor about the problem. You could also try using the correct HP driver, if feasible. The latest HP drivers can be downloaded from http://www.hp.com/go/T120/drivers or http://www.hp.com/go/T520/ drivers.

●Check that your printer's firmware is up to date. See Firmware update on page 88.

●Check that you have the right settings in your software application.
