Primera Pictura 310s User Manual page 88

The foreground
application is less
responsive while
printing in the
background.
Text is Òjagged,Ó
particularly at
very large sizes.
Dye-Sublimation
Text is Òjagged,Ó
especially at small
sizes.
Text is incorrectly
formatted.
Prints are coming
out black and
white only, or
images are garbled
or wonÕt print at
all.
The driver puts all the pages to be printed into a
single spool file. If you have only a little space
left on the hard disk, you can print each page
from the document individually, using the From
and To fields in the Print dialog box.
Clear off more hard disk space and try your
print job again.
Background printing shares the processor in the
Macintosh with the foreground application. The
amount of time allocated to processing the job
may be adjusted with the Preferences command
in the Admin menu of the Backgrounder. Some
types of images (such as very large files) can
make the Macintosh less responsive.
Install Adobe Type Manager, or use a System 7
TrueType font.
If you are using Adobe Type Manager, try
increasing the font cache to more than 256K (use
the Control Panel). Try closing other documents,
and increasing the available memory for the
application before printing again.
If printing with dye-sublimation supplies, select
the Text anti-aliasing option in the Expert
options of the Page Setup dialog box.
Select the Enhance Fine Text option in the
Expert options of the Page Setup dialog box.
Select the Text anti-aliasing option in the Expert
options of the Page Setup dialog box.
Some applications have an option to enable or
disable Òfractional character spacingÓ. It is often
found in a Preferences dialog box or as part of
the page setup dialog box. It should always be
selected to ensure that the driver can position
text accurately.
Try disabling unnecessary extensions (i.e. those
which are not completely necessary to run your
system or your Color Sign Printer). To disable
extensions, remove them from the Extensions
folder and restart. To isolate the extension
causing the problem, try removing suspect
extensions one-half at a time while printing to
the Color Sign Printer.
