Epson LQ-570 Pauses During Long Print Jobs (82602)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q82602 SYMPTOMS
If you are printing several jobs or using a printing macro that prints
several files on an Epson LQ-570, the printer may pause and stop printing.
Microsoft Windows returns the following message:
Out of paper or not connected.
The Printer Pause light then blinks. If you select Retry, the message
redisplays. You can press the Cancel option to clear the message, and after
several minutes, you can select Retry to continue printing the same print
job.
CAUSE
The Epson LQ-570 is not designed to handle long print jobs. The printer's
head overheats and pauses. If Print Manager is not enabled, the printer
goes off line and takes some time to recover.
WORKAROUND
No work around is available except to get a larger buffer installed on
the printer, which may help extend the time it retains a large spool file
and may keep most of the file printing.
