suggestions:
●
Reduce the resolution so that the whole image requires fewer than 32,768 pixels. The Windows
driver dialog includes an option called 16-bit App. Compatibility, which can be used to reduce
the resolution of such images automatically. You can find this option in the Advanced tab,
under Document Options > Printer Features.

Save the file in another format, such as TIFF or EPS, and open it with another application.
●
Use a RIP to print the file.
Some objects are missing from the printed image

Save the file in another format, such as TIFF or EPS, and open it with another application.
●
Use a RIP to print the file.
●
Reduce the resolution of bitmap images in your application software.
●
Select a lower print quality in order to reduce the resolution of the printed image.
●
In the Advanced tab of the Windows driver dialog, select Document options, Printer features,
then:
●
Set Send job as bitmap to Enabled (HP-GL/2 driver only).
●
Set 16-bit App. Compatibility to Enabled.

The above settings are mentioned for troubleshooting purposes and may adversely
affect the final output quality or the time necessary to generate the print job. Therefore, they
should be restored to their default values if they do not help to solve the problem.
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 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.
The Image Diagnostics Print
The Image Diagnostics Print consists of patterns designed to highlight printhead reliability problems. It
helps you to check the performance of the printheads that are currently installed in your printer, and
whether any printhead suffers from clogging or other problems.
