What to do
Graphics require large amounts of memory. Lower the
Print Quality setting in the printer driver. If your printer is
the EPL-6200, you can also install more memory into the
printer for a more permanent solution.
What to do
Graphics require large amounts of memory. To execute
your job, make sure that you select the Avoid Insufficient
Memory Error check box as described under Avoiding
Insufficient Memory Error for Windows, or Avoiding
Insufficient Memory Error for Macintosh.
What to do
Turn off the printer. Clean internal printer components
by printing three pages with only one character per page.
If the surface of your paper is too rough, printed
characters may appear distorted or broken. Smooth,
high-quality copier paper is recommended for best
results. See "Available paper types" on page 110 for
information on choosing paper.
Lighten the Density setting in the printer driver.
Turn off the printer. Remove the cartridge, shake it
gently from side to side, and then reinstall it. If this does
not solve the problem, replace the developer cartridge
as described under "Developer Cartridge" on page 69.
Turn off the printer. Remove the unit, and then reinstall
