Problem No. 8 Why do I have trouble printing with the LaserWriter 8?
Solution No. 8 Your application software may not be compatible with the LaserWriter
8 driver or your system may not meet the requirements of the
LaserWriter 8 driver. Use the Apple LaserWriter 7 driver instead.
Problem No. 9 The colors on my printed output do not match the colors on my
computer screen.
Solution No. 9 When the printer receives a color file, it tries to match the printed
output color to the screen color. Sometimes the printer cannot match up
the colors as closely as wanted. To alleviate this problem, perform the
following steps:
• Choose "Calibrated Color/Grayscale" in the Print pop-up menu in
the Print Options dialog box. The printer will make adjustments
to match the colors.
• Check your monitor to make sure all settings (for example,
brightness) are adjusted correctly.
Problem No. 10 When I send a print job, I get a PostScript Command error or no
print out.
Solution No. 10 Check the communication protocols. The computer, Print Server and
printer must all be configured to the same communication
protocol.(either Binary or ASCII).
To configure your system:
1. Choose which protocol you are going to use. You should check
your printer; it may not give you a choice.
2. Set your printer to the correct protocol.
3. Use the computer's Print submenu to configure your computer to
use the protocol you have chosen.
4. Configure the Print Server to use the same protocol as the printer
and computer.
