- Depending on the data, the following countermeasures may be required:
- When the file size is large: reduce the data resolution, or reduce the number of pages.
- When printing multiple copies of a file: print each copy separately.

- Print each copy separately.
- If the data includes an odd number of pages, insert a blank page to make the number of pages even.
