Problem

Symptoms: When a customer prints to his Brother HL-8e printer, he receives a "Print Overrun" error. He is using two FaceLift fonts in his document, each is 32pt. The printer prints the first three lines and the top half of the fourth line, and then it returns the error. Solutions: The "Print Overrun" error on the Brother laser printer is identical to "Error 21" errors on Hewlett-Packard printers. This error is also known as a complex data error. For a full description of the cause of this error, look in the -PRINT51 infobase using print overrun as the search words. This error occurrs when Bitstream passes the graphic representation of the characters to the Brother printer to process. In the customer's instance, the printer cannot process the information fast enough to keep up with the placement of the data. This results in the error message. The solution for this error is to reduce the complexity of the data.
