characters
Chapter 7
Cause
Your computer is having a
problem communicating
with the printer.
Printer driver may not be
correct.
Bitmapped fonts designed
for dot matrix printers do
not print smoothly rounded
characters when used with
high resolution printers like
the BJ-30.
Certain MS fonts, such as
MS Serif, will print jagged.
Solution
Follow these steps:
1. Select the Main group
from the Program
Manager.
2. Double-click on the
Control Panel.
3. Double-click on the
Printers icon.
4. Select the BJ-30.
5. Click on Connect.
6. Click on the box next to
Fast Printing Direct to
Port to remove the X.
7. Click on OK.
8. Click on Close.
9. Close the Control Panel.
10. Try your print operation
again.
If the problem persists, go
back to step 5 (above) and
change the connection from
LPT1 to LPT1.DOS.
Make sure you have selected
the Canon BJ-30 setting in
the Printers dialog box or
from the printer setting for
your particular application.
Make sure you installed an
outline font manager, such as
Adobe Type Manager or
Bitstream Facelift, or that
you are choosing a TrueType
font.
Choose another font.
