Laser printer prints "strips" of document

The problem of lasers printing only a small strip or band of your document on each page is easy to solve.

Your laser printer has an option called timeout. If no new data is received in a certain time, and the default is usually 10 to 20 seconds, any data in the printers buffer is printed. This problem can be solved in one of two ways:

  1. increase the timeout period,
  2. turn off the timeout.
Check your printer's manual for the method to do this.
