Apple 6500 Printer User Manual


 
Text prints jagged.
Some rotated text may print jagged if you apply a style that has not been
defined for the font. Try applying plain style to the text.
Graphic images don’t print, or they appear jagged.
Some advanced page layout and art applications use the PostScript page
description language, a language that the Color StyleWriter 6500 does not
understand. As long as your applications have a PICT preview option, you can
print the file on a Color StyleWriter 6500, but the image may appear jagged.
Also, images saved as encapsulated PostScript (EPS) may appear jagged on
all non-PostScript printers. Whenever possible, use a TIFF or PICT version of
the image.
Page breaks change unexpectedly.
Most applications determine where to break pages by evaluating the
information you provide in the Page Setup dialog box. Also, different types of
printers space text in slightly different ways. The following actions can cause
page breaks to change:
m changing from one type of printer to another
m changing the paper size in the Page Setup dialog box
m scaling the document in the Page Setup dialog box
m changing the orientation in the Page Setup dialog box
It’s best to choose the printer you want and the Page Setup options you need
before working on your page breaks.
A page prints off center.
This problem may result from one of the following conditions:
m You have selected the wrong paper size in the Page Setup dialog box.
m The margins are set incorrectly in the document you are printing.
m Paper is not placed properly in the paper tray. See “Paper or Envelopes Feed
Improperly,” earlier in this chapter.
