HP2540 Inkjet - Cutting Off Bottom Half Of Text

Just purchased a new HP2540 Inkjet and finished the set up. Whatever I print, including the diagnostic report, the bottom half of the text on every few lines has been cut off. Gone through all the diagnostic checks, but still cuts off the bottom half over third sentence. Ridiculous. Any suggestions out there?

I have a user experiencing the same issue. We have removed the drivers and reinstalled them but the problem persists. Steps we have tried.... Completely uninstalled all the HP software and printer driversRebootedReinstalled drivers and printer softwareI have verified the printer has the latest firmware. It doesn't matter what program we are printing from, approximately the bottom 4th to 3rd of the photo is cut off. I do have examples I can send that show the problem. Our organization buys a lot of printers and it would suck to have to start ordering from a different vendor for future buys. But if HP cannot fix this issue, we'll have to switch to another brand. Since we cannot attach in here I have uploaded the examples. The first is an XPS printout from a word 2013 document. When it's printed it comes out as shown in the scan.pdf file. (We printed it and then scanned the printout to a PDF). It is pretty clear that the bottom of the picture is cut off. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks. Brian

HP Deskjet 5740 Color Inkjet Printer cutting off bottom half of letters when printing text

My Printer is cutting off the bottom half of letters when printing documents. I have tried all the troubleshooting options given on the computer and have changed out the ink cartriges as well. I am hoping SOMEONE might have a solution to share. Thanks in advance!!!

I want to sync tasks in Outlook with my iPhone. I have tried Toodledo (not good) and Todo. Todo works, but it cuts off most of the text. I only get the beginning of my (long) lists. Any ideas how I can solve this problem?

Usually if you have some kind of hardware failure there is some beeping during POST or most motherboards now have LED indicators to produce and error message based on the type of failure
So if its bad memory, not place properly, mismatched, processor not inserted properly, mismatched voltage or voltage connector not present etc it beeps or generates the error id.
Power supplies can be tested for failure. There are some walk throughs for testing just them with a switch, paperclip or a jumper (I'd suggest not doing this if you are not familiar with the dangers of electricity).
Memory can be tested with memory diagnostics programs like Memtest+
Processors can overheat if the proper precautions have not been taken usually you will get a POST beep or error code for that.
If the motherboard has no response then do the basics first:
Check power connectors and power supply. Once you determine that is not the case move on to other items like graphics cards in all the way or memory.

My Deskjet 1000 J110 series is cutting off bottom parts of sentences?

My Deskjet 1000 J110 series is cutting off bottom parts of sentences. I have not had this problem in the past. It only does it to a few sentences & my headers.
What could be causing this and what can I do about it?

Hi IlianaGrace96,
There are several things that can cause your problem. I would start by reviewing the following HP Consumer Support document:
Fixing Ink Streaks, Faded Prints, and Other Common Print Quality Problems
1. Perform a hard reset on the printer. Unplug the power cord from the back. Leave it out for 30 seconds and then plug it back in.
2. Use the automated tool to align the cartridges.
3. Use the automated tool to clean the cartridges.
4. Manually clean the cartridges with a lint free cloth and water.
5. Try soaking your printheads in semi warm water for about 5 minutes.
I hope this helps.
Regards,

Bottom half of text cut off

My printer: Photosmart C6280 All-in-one. The printer connects to my wireless router via Ethernet cable. Two computers use this printer on a wireless home network. The problem has occurred with both computers. Both computers (an HP desktop and a Gateway laptop) run Windows Vista Home Premium. The problem I describe occurs when printing text from Microsoft Word 2007.
From time to time, the last line of text in a document or a label comes out with the lower half of the entire bottom line cut off. The odd thing is that sometimes (but not always), I can resend the print job and get good results. For example, on one occasion after encountering this problem two consecutive times with a particular document, I re-sent the print job and used the back side of a used sheet. It printed correctly, so I put a new sheet of paper into the tray and tried a fourth time. This time, I got the same unacceptable result! Tried a fifth time and got a good print.
One important point: The problem has never once occurred when I print photos. The problem seems to occur only when printing text.

We were also having this problem but after researching around on the net and finding some other people with the same issue, we found the following fix worked (based on a Windows 7/Vista Machine):
Click Start > Devices and Printers
Right click 'HP Photosmart C7200 series' and click Printer Properties
Click the Ports tab
Uncheck Enable Bidirectional Support
For XP users, you can get to the same thing by finding your printer in the "Printers" area of Control Panel. Following this, opening the properties for your printer from there either by right clicking directly on the printer, or by double clicking the printer and then in that window selecting Printer > Properties.
We found that the above worked for us so I hope it works for some of you too.

CUPS cuts off bottom of first page

Consistently, the first page of any print job I send through CUPS is cut off at the bottom.
It's very subtle. Sometimes, it means a signature line at the bottom is missing. Other times, it means a line of my text document is just gone.
Also, the first page seems to be oriented slightly differently than subsequent pages. The first is a little higher on the page than those that follow, even if every page has the same content.

No. I'm telling it to use 8.5" x 11" paper.
It's not falling off the paper. It just doesn't print the whole thing.

Scanning cuts off bottom 1/2"

I have an HP OfficeJet 7410 All-in-One. When I scan an 8.5' x 11" page, using the Automatic Document Feeder, it cuts off the bottom 1/2", no matter what program I use to control the scan (the latest versions of HP ScanPro and Adobe Acrobat). If I don't use the ADF, but scan from the glass, I get the whole page. And if I scan a legal-sized page (8.5" x 14") it does not cut off anything on the bottom.
So, just to experiment, I plugged the OfficeJet into a PC and scanned the same 8.5" x 11" document using the ADF. It did not cut off the bottom. So the problem doesn't seem to be the scanner, or the scanning software. It definitely seems to be that somewhere in OS X, it's cutting off the bottom.
My workaround is to place the 8.5" x 11" pages to be scanned into clear plastic document sleeves. Each is 11.5" long, and when I use these, I get a scan of the entire document.
Is there some way I can get the MBP to scan an entire 11" page without my having to place each one in a plastic sleeve?

Hi Roger,
Just want to clarify some of the above.
And if I scan a legal-sized page (8.5" x 14") it does not cut off anything on the bottom.
From the Auto Feeder legal size works? Or did you mean manually placing a legal size sheet on the glass?
So the problem doesn't seem to be the scanner, or the scanning software.
It could still be the software. The OS X software isn't a direct copy of the Windows software. It has to be ported, which gives plenty of opportunity for errors in one version that doesn't exist in the other. I've noticed with other HP products that the Mac software almost always has flaws the Windows counterpart doesn't.
My workaround is to place the 8.5" x 11" pages to be scanned into clear plastic document sleeves.
Scanned via the Auto Feeder or manually on the glass?

Acrobat Cuts Off Bottom Of pdf When Printing

I'm trying to create a printable form for a web page. I originally created the form in Photoshop 7, then used Acrobat 7 Pro to convert it to a pdf for downloading/printing. The problem is that Acrobat cuts off the bottom of the page when you attempt to print it. Here is a screen shot of the print dialog window. The "grayed out" area indicates the parts being cut off. The main problem is the bottom margin. I've tried cropping margins in Document > Crop Pages, but that seems to have no effect. Changing the dimensions in Photoshop and then re-creating the pdf has no effect, either. How can I fix the formatting so it will print correctly?
-Tnx

Do you mean Page Scaling select in the Print dialog box, ie; "Fit to Printer Margins"?

HP PSC 2355 all-in-one printer cuts off bottoms of letters

My HP PSC 2355 All-In-One Printer cuts off the bottoms of letters. Photos are fine. 3rd HP black cartrige, got worse today.
On a Mac, 10.9.3.

Hi @timed
I would like to help you with your 2355 printer. A printer reset can initiate an alignment. Please use the following document to troubleshoot the issue, and let me know the outcome of your efforts; Troubleshooting Print Quality Problems with the Diagnostic Page.
If the issue remains unresolved after following all of the steps in the link above, I recommend contacting HP.
Don't hesitate to call, although the printer may be out of warranty, the cartridges could be in warranty; therefore, there wouldn't likely be a fee for the phone support. HP will, at HP's option, either replace products under warranty that prove to be defective or refund the purchase price.
They could even determine after troubleshooting that it is a problem with the printer, in which case they may offer you a discount on a newer model.
The number to call HP is 1-800-474-6836 for Canada and US, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
To find the “Warranty Ends” date, look in the following table for the date's location on each product. The date follows the YYYY/MM/DD or YYYY/MM format, where YYYY indicates the year, MM indicates the month, and DD indicates the day.
I hope this helps.

Adobe Pro X - cutting off bottom and sides of document

Hi.
I had to convert a word doc to a PDF (I managed that)
I then had to put a video in the PDF - so I installed Acrobat Pro X to do this
However, since getting Acrobat Pro X, the bottom and sides of the document have been cut off, and there's a white border along the bottom and right hand side.
I can't uninstall Pro as I need to put videos into the PDF, but I can't submit PDFs with the bottoms and sides cut off either.
Please please can somebody help me?
Thanks so much

Go back to the original WORD document and convert to PDF using either the Adobe PDF printer or PDF Maker (Adobe menu item in WORD). If that solves the problem you are fine. If not, then give us details on how you did the conversion.

Borderless printing cutting off bottom

I have been printing borderless 5x7 prints in PSE8 forever. All of the sudden yesterday, it started cutting off the bottom of the print. It still prints borderless on top and the sides, just not the bottom. I know for a fact it is not the printer. I am not sure if there is some setting that has accidentally gotten changed or what......any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Suggest that you reset preferences. It may fix it:
Preference settings control how Photoshop Elements displays images, cursors, and transparencies, saves files, uses plug‑ins and scratch disks, and so on. If the application exhibits unexpected behavior, the preferences file may be damaged. You can restore all preferences to their defaults.
Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift immediately after Photoshop Elements begins launching. Click Yes to delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements settings file.
A new preferences file is created the next time you start Photoshop Elements. For information on a specific preference option, search for the preference name in Help.
Close the program and reopen.

Captivate cuts off the end of text to speech audio sequences

Hi there,
I have a problem Captivates TTS audio. When I use the F3 key to check the audio sequence, everything sounds normal.
However, after publishing the entire course as an .exe file some audio sequences are cut off at the end, e.g. using the following text “ear-phones are needed”, in the published version Paul only says “Ear-phones are NEED”.
First, I thought that the end of the audio was too close to the end of the slide. Therefore, I made sure that every slides duration was longer than the audio. But it didn’t make a difference.
Has anyone experienced this before and knows how to help?
Your help is appreciated!
I use Captivate 5, but also had this problem in version 4...

Hello There,
Can you try the steps mentioned in http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2009/04/vtml_tags_in_text_to_speech_1.html? Adding this VTML tag should be resolving the issue. Please let me know.
Thanks,
Vish

Website doesn't display correctly, some areas cut off

All pages of my website cut off some text at the top and bottom. This does not happen with any other web pages I browse! The site was created by our developer and based on a Themeforest theme (from Envato) called Franklin Crowdfunding. Interestingly, my wife's computer does not have this problem and also uses Firefox. So I compared add-ons, extensions, etc. with hers and disabled those on my machine only. Also reinstalled latest Java, Firefox, started in Safe Mode, disabled acceleration and everything else I could find in the troubleshooting section. Nothing has worked. BTW site displays correctly on ipad as well.
I did notice that the first time I navigated to the page after reinstalling Firefox it worked fine. But after closing and restarting Firefox the problem reappeared.
Website is www.accoladesintl.com ...red copy at top is partially cut off (bottom half, not top half) and bottom half of the contact info at bottom.
This problem does not happen in IE. I would rather use your product than it or google, so please help me find the problem!
