Q: Print data dropout occurs.
A: Check the handshake process.
Data dropout can occur when the handshake between the host computer and the printer is not
performed correctly. This can result in errors related to print buffer capacity.
Confirmation procedure
Use the following steps to check the handshake process.
1. Select a comparatively large volume of data for printing and send it to the printer.
2. Enabled the on-line state by opening the printer cover while the printer is printing.
3. Check the data send operation.
If data send terminates: Handshake process is normal
If data send continues: Handshake process is abnormal
4. In cases where the handshake process is found to be abnormal, follow the steps listed in
Corrective Procedure shown below and re-enter host unit and printer settings so that they
match.
