Problem

Solutions: Customers may periodically experience problems with complete jobs not printing. They also may find garbage printing. A troubleshooting option might be to check the length of the printer cable. For example, a customer using a 20 foot printer cable only received a part of his print jobs. Complete jobs printed after changing to a shorter cable. The maximum length of a parallel cable is usually 15 feet. It is recommended that they not be longer than 12 feet. Serial cables have no limit, yet some dealers say the limit is 300 feet.
