7. Fonts Are Not Printing Correctly
Fonts are not printing in the correct font, size or not printing at all.
Cause:
Sometimes fonts, especially script fonts, may not print correctly or at all.
This tends to happen when using Vector Programs. The printer driver may not download or recognize the
font. To x this, change the font to a graphic image. Depending on the graphics program, it may be called
Convert to Curves, Create Outlines or Rasterize Type. You may also need to do this if you are printing
vector fonts along with a bitmap image.
Solution: Try importing or printing a different le to see if the problem continues.
8. The Printer Stops in the Middle of a Print Job
The printer stops in the middle of a print routine and stops communicating with the computer.
Causes:
Print drivers may need to be re-installed.
•
Print drivers are prone to occasional communication problems with the Windows XP operating
system. The only solution is to re-install the driver.
Too many USB items may be connected to your computer.
•
The USB bus on your computer has a limited amount of power and can be “overloaded”. If you
have any additional items connected to your USB ports other than your FastARTIST/RIP dongle,
mouse and printer, unplug them.
The image le may be corrupt.
•
The le being printed may be corrupt. Try another le.
The USB cable may be too long.
•
Your USB cable should not be MORE than six feet in length. The longer the cable is, the harder it
is for the computer to communicate with the printer.
The Kill Switch has been activated (PRO only).
•
If the printer sits too far on either end of the bed rail, the kill switch is engaged. This could happen
from a wrong page size or printer mode. Manually push the printer assembly towards the center of
the span of the machine about 4 inches. Power back on.
