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