Troubleshooting jobs printed in pieces on separate pages

A print job can be broken and printed on separate pages for several reasons:

• The CAPTURE timeout setting may be too short. If there is a pause in the flow of data between the application and the port, and it is long enough for the timeout to end the job, the next data that comes will be sent to the queue as a new job. The new job will be printed on a new page because a form feed is issued.

• Misinterpreted control characters in a job may also cause a form feed in the middle of a job. Sometimes this problem can be corrected by sending the job as Byte Stream (No Tabs).

• The printer may not have sufficient memory to hold the entire page to be printed. If it does not, it will print the part of the page it has in memory and continue printing on the next page. This problem occurs when printing large graphics jobs.
