Printed with Minor or Severe Output Errors?

Question 2: The output request has been printed, but it contains errors. Are these minor or severe printing problems?

It is important to distinguish between minor and major problems with the appearance of output that has actually been printed.

A minor problem has occurred when the print out is legible and generally correct. However, there are problems with individual characters, with alignment of text and graphic elements, and the like. In this case, see Correcting Minor Output Errors.

A severe problem has occurred when a print request has been printed but is not readable. For example: the output is in the incorrect character set (such as Dingbats), or lines breaks and formatting are severely incorrect. In this case, see Correcting Sever Output Errors.
