PG L26/PG L26 Special User’s Guide – Troubleshooting > 84

Your software (operating environment, applications and printer 
drivers) controls the printing process. Make sure you have 
selected the right driver for use with your printer. See your 
software documentation for more information.

Printing is 

garbled.

Incorrect driver is 

installed.

Install an appropriate driver.

Printer’s output 

is below rated 

speed.

Much of the 

printing delays will 

be caused by your 

application. 

Sometimes purely 

text documents will 

print slowly 

depending on the 

selected fonts and 

how they are 

transferred to the 

printer.

For maximum speed, use text in 

your document and use a printer 

resident font.

Size of top 

margin 

increases with 

each page 

printed.

Creeping text. 

Number of lines per 

page in software is 

not equal to 

number of lines per 

page of printer.

Many software packages assume 

66 lines per page, but your 

printer’s default is 64. Adjust 

software accordingly, or set LINES 

Per PAGE in the soft control panel 

to equal lines per page in your 

software.

Graphic image 

prints partly on 

one page, partly 

on the next.

Insufficient printer 

memory for this 

image at this 

resolution.

Change the resolution, reduce the 

image size, or install more memory 

in your printer.

When you try to 

print nothing 

happens, but 

printer indicates 

it is ready to 

receive data.

Configuration error.

Check cable connection. If more 

than one printer is available, make 

sure your printer has been 

selected.

Garbage prints.

Incorrect cable 

configuration. Also, 

see Software 

Problems.

Check cable configuration, 

continuity, and length.
