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 and HP RTL 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 Services tab, then the Troubleshoot Software Problems icon.

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/2 for an HP-GL/2 and HP RTL file etc. (see

Change the

graphic language setting on page 65

). 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.
