Print Jobs Larger Than 4 MB Do Not Print CompletelyArticle ID: 289162 - View products that this article applies to. This article was previously published under Q289162 SYMPTOMS
When you print a print job that is 4 megabytes (MB) or larger, you receive either no output or just partial output from the printer.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur for jobs larger than 4 MB because the algorithm that the Graphical Display Interface (GDI) uses to determine the scan lines is incorrect. When the GDI uses this algorithm and then attempts to render the print job to the printer, it expects the actual number of scan lines to equal the flawed algorithm's prediction. When these numbers do not match, the GDI discards the print job as corrupted.
