Troubleshooting

Common issues and how to fix them

Image is too small or cut off

This usually happens when the scale is set incorrectly.

Solution: Make sure "Fit to Page" or "Scale to Fit" is selected in your print settings. Avoid "Actual Size" which might make the image too large for the paper.

Lines are too light or faint

The printer might be running low on ink or toner.

Solution: Check your ink/toner levels and replace if needed. You can also try increasing the print quality setting to "High" or "Best."

Can't open the PDF file

Your device might not have a PDF reader installed.

Solution: Download a free PDF reader like Adobe Reader, or use your browser's built-in PDF viewer. On mobile, try apps like Adobe Acrobat Reader or Google Drive.
