    Manual duplex printing Manual duplex printing, which is a feature of the Windows Direct (GDI) mode, allows you to print on both sides of the page. Two duplexing styles are available - Book Style and Report Style. Book Style printing prints your document so that if you opened it in the same way as you opened this manual, for example, the even and odd numbered pages would face each other on the left and right, respectively.

  • Page 40: Duplex Printing Errors

    Using fonts in the Windows Direct (GDI) mode The usefulness of the WinType 4000's "What You See Is What You Get" method is ap- parent when you use fonts. In Windows, any font you can see on the screen will work with this printer.
  • Page 41 Note: Windows includes some special built-in fonts that were not meant for printing, including Helv and Tms RMn. These fonts were designed for screen display so their resolution is coarser than the fonts normally used for printing. We recommend that you should not select these fonts when you create your document.
