Technical information

If a page contains very complex images, try to remove some of the complex
detail from that page (or spread the information over two pages) and try again
to print it. Also, find Desktop PrintMonitor in the Extensions folder in the
System Folder and use the Get Info command to increase its memory size.
If you encounter the “out of memory” message frequently, you can remedy
this by increasing the amount of memory in the printer. See Chapter 5.
Printer-specific options don’t appear in the Print dialog box.
Make sure the hardware options are properly installed in the printer, as
described in Chapter 5 and the instructions that came with the options.
If the Desktop Printer extension is turned on, select a desktop printer icon.
Choose Change Setup from the Printing menu, then click Auto Setup in the
dialog box that appears.
If the Desktop Printer extension is turned off, open the Chooser and click the
LaserWriter 8 icon. Click the Setup button, then click Auto Setup in the
dialog box that appears.
Nothing is printed; no paper comes out of the printer.
If you don’t get any response from the printer when you try to print a
document, try the following steps:
m Make sure you printed on the printer you intended to use.
m Check your desktop printer for error messages. Double-click the desktop
printer icon to open the Desktop PrintMonitor.
m Try printing again, but select the Print Detailed Report option. (Choose the
Print command. Choose PostScript Error Handling, then select Print
Detailed Report.)
m Check the Chooser to be sure the printer is selected. Be sure to select the
printer’s name, as well as the LaserWriter 8 icon and, if necessary, the
AppleTalk network zone.
m Check the Paper Out light. If it is on, add paper and replace the paper
cassette.
m Check for a paper jam as described in Chapter 11.
m Check the network cables.
