    SOFTWARE PROBLEMS
    Your software (operating environment, applications and printer 
    drivers) controls the printing process. Make sure you have 
    selected the right driver for use with your printer. See your 
    software documentation for more information.
    HARDWARE PROBLEMS
    SYMPTOMPROBLEMSOLUTION
    Printing is 
    garbled.Incorrect driver is 
    installed.Install an appropriate driver.
    Printer’s output 
    is below rated 
    speed.Much of the 
    printing delays will 
    be caused by your 
    application. 
    Sometimes purely 
    text documents will 
    print slowly 
    depending on the 
    selected fonts and 
    how they are 
    transferred to the 
    printer.For maximum speed, use text in 
    your document and use a printer 
    resident font.
    Size of top 
    margin 
    increases with 
    each page 
    printed.Creeping text. 
    Number of lines per 
    page in software is 
    not equal to 
    number of lines per 
    page of printer.Many software packages assume 
    66 lines per page, but your 
    printer’s default is 64. Adjust 
    software accordingly, or set LINES 
    Per PAGE in the soft control panel 
    to equal lines per page in your 
    software.
    SYMPTOMPROBLEMSOLUTION
    Graphic image 
    prints partly on 
    one page, partly 
    on the next.Insufficient printer 
    memory for this 
    image at this 
    resolution.Change the resolution, reduce the 
    image size, or install more memory 
    in your printer.
    When you try to 
    print nothing 
    happens, but 
    printer indicates 
    it is ready to 
    receive data.Configuration error. Check cable connection. If more 
    than one printer is available, make 
    sure your printer has been 
    selected.
    Garbage prints. Incorrect cable 
    configuration. Also, 
    see Software 
    Problems.Check cable configuration, 
    continuity, and length.

    INSTALLING OPTIONS
    The following options are available to extend the performance of 
    your printer:
    >10/100 BASE-TX Network Interface Card: to make the 
    B4400 and B4600 network compatible
    >16, 32, 64, 128, 256MB RAM DIMM: to extend the main 
    memory of your printer and speed up the processing of 
    large files
    >RS232C Card: to provide serial interface capability for the 
    B4400 and B4600
    >Second paper tray: to increase your printer’s paper 
    handling capacity by 500 sheets (80g/m²)
    >Multi Purpose Tray: to extend the range of media your 
    printer can accommodate (capacity 100 sheets (80g/m²) 
    or 50 envelopes)
    >One of the following can be added:
    (a) 8MB Flash DIMM: to allow the storage of additional 
    fonts or bar codes for the B4400, B4400n, B4600, 
    B4600n
    (b) 16MB Flash DIMM: to allow the storage of additional 
    fonts or bar codes for the B4400, B4400n, B4600, 
    B4600n
    (c) PostScript PS level 3 DIMM: to add PostScript 
    emulation to the B4600 or B4600n. Cannot be added 
    in conjunction with extra flash memory. 
    (d) The B4600 PS option is supplied as 2 DIMMs: a PS 
    DIMM and a 16MB RAM DIMM. When fitted into a 
    basic B4600 or B4600n (i.e. one with no memory 
    upgrade already fitted) the PS DIMM will expand into 
    the 16MB RAM DIMM in order to work, and the 
    amount of memory available for general operation of 
    the printer will therefore not change. It will remain 
    at 16MB, which is the printers base memory.
    (e) If you require to install a PS upgrade into a B4600 or 
    B4600n which already has a memory upgrade 
    installed, discard the 16MB RAM DIMM which ships

    with the PS option and install only the PS DIMM. The 
    result will be that the amount of overall memory 
    available to the printer will decrease by 16MB as the 
    PS code expands into 16MB of RAM currently 
    installed. For example, a user who already has 
    128MB installed (total memory is therefore 
    128+16=144MB) will fit only the PS DIMM and will 
    then have 128MB of RAM left for printing.
    INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
    To install any of the above options, follow the detailed installation 
    sheet that accompanies the option.
