When using a printer, we may encounter various problems. Incomplete printing is one of them. You may wonder why does my printer not print the full page? Why is my printer printing incomplete pages?
If the text on both sides of the document printed by the printer is incomplete, it may be caused by the following reasons. You can try the following solutions:
1. Paper placement problem
1) Check the paper size setting:
The printer may not correctly identify the paper size. Enter the printer’s settings menu and confirm that the paper size setting matches the actual paper size used. For example, if you are using A4 paper, make sure the printer’s paper size option is also set to A4.
Some printers can automatically detect the paper size, but this function may malfunction. In this case, manually setting the paper size can solve the problem.
2) Adjust the paper placement:
Make sure the paper is placed neatly in the paper tray. The paper may be offset in the paper tray, causing the printer to be unable to scan the entire page properly. Realign the paper and make sure that the paper tray is not overfilled or the paper is not curled. If the paper is curled, smooth it out before putting it in the paper tray.
2. Printer setting problem
1) Improper scaling:
Check the scaling of the copy. If the scaling is set incorrectly, some text may be cut off. Usually the default zoom ratio of the printer is 100%. Restoring it to this ratio can ensure that the file is copied completely. Find the zoom option on the printer’s operation panel and adjust the ratio to an appropriate value.
In addition, some printers will automatically adjust the zoom ratio when making double-sided copies or specific function copies (such as ID copying). At this time, you need to pay special attention to the impact of these functions on the zoom ratio.
2) Margin setting problem:
The printer may have set a large margin, making it impossible to copy the text completely. Enter the printer’s margin setting option and adjust the margin to the minimum or appropriate value. Different printers may have different margin settings. Some printers can find the margin option in the basic settings menu, while others may need to be adjusted in the advanced settings or copy mode settings.
3. Optical component problems
1) Clean the scanning component:
The printer’s scanning glass or scanning head may have dust and stains, which affect the scanning range. Use a clean, soft cloth to gently wipe the scanning glass to ensure that there is no dust and stains left. If the scanning head is dirty, it may require professional cleaning because the scanning head is a relatively precise component.
In addition to the scanning glass and scanning head, check whether there is dust on other optical parts such as reflectors. Dust on these parts may cause uneven reflection of light, thus affecting the integrity of the scan.
Summarize:
If the problem cannot be solved after the above steps, it may be that the mechanical parts inside the printer are faulty, such as worn conveyor rollers or paper jams causing parts to shift. In this case, it is recommended to contact a professional printer repairman for inspection.
