Cause
Processing time de-
pends on data vol-
ume. High volume
data, such as graph-
ics-heavy documents,
take longer to process.
You may be using pa-
per smaller than the
size selected in the ap-
plication.
Print areas differ de-
pending on machine
used. Information that
fits on a single page on
one machine may not
fit on a single page of
another machine.
Some applications
print at lower resolu-
tion.
Dither patterns do not
match.
Bidirectional commu-
nication is not work-
ing.
