Printouts have alternating bands of light and dark print

If the printer pauses frequently during a print job and prints pages with alternating bands of light and dark print, it
is printing data faster than the computer can send it. Banded printing occurs when the printer pauses frequently.
You may need to change the printer software settings, or the problem may be that the printer and the computer are
not able to communicate properly.
