My printer does not respond properly to my host using an Ethernet connection.
•
Make sure all cables are connected and seated properly. See "Port
Connection: Ethernet Port" in chapter 2.
•
Make sure the correct Adobe PostScript printer driver and your printer's
PPD are installed and configured properly. See "Adobe PostScript Printer
Driver and Printer PPD Installation (OS 9)" in chapter 2 (Macintosh) or
"Installing AdobePS Printer Driver and Printer PPD" in chapter 3 (PC).
•
Make sure the printer's Ethernet interface is configured properly for your
operating environment. See "Configuring EtherTalk" in chapter 2 and see
"Network (EtherTalk, General, and TCP/IP Configuration)" in chapter 2
(Macintosh) or 3 (PC).
•
Make sure the Macintosh or PC is configured properly to communicate using
the Ethernet connection. See "Configuring EtherTalk" in chapter 2 and see
"Network (EtherTalk, General, and TCP/IP Configuration)" in chapter 2
(Macintosh) or 3 (PC).
•
Make sure the printer is on line.
•
Make sure the network is available.
•
Reduce the number of items on the network to determine the source of the
problem.
•
Make sure that you are using a crossover or UTP test cable if your are using
twisted pair cable to direct connect a printer and a Ethernet configured host
without a hub.
•
Do not use a transceiver that allows devices to daisy chain on a twisted pair
network.
When I print an image that I have scanned, it is so dark that much of the detail is lost.
•
Adjust the printer's gamma setting to change the image's midrange
grayscale values. See "Halftone Calibration Technology (Gamma)" in
chapter 4.
•
Rescan the image with a higher resolution. Generally, black and white
images should be scanned at a resolution of 2 times the line screen desired
on the printed output. Multiply this number by the ratio of the printed
output size to the original image size.
SR = Print Image LPI x 2 x Image Size Ratio
