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 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 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.
