Unexpected
Font in PCL
Mode
Shifted or
Broken Image
If you are using a screen-only font, one that does not
download fonts to the printer the way TrueType does
or Type 1/ATM does, you may see an unexpected
font substitution.
One solution is to select another font. Another is to
install a font that has a similar appearance but works
with PCL, as TrueType and Type 1/ATM fonts do.
The Windows 3.1 user documentation has some
additional information on fonts and their usage.
This problem is most likely caused by a faulty cable.
The SuperScript software sends data to your printer
at very high speeds via a standard parallel cable.
Unfortunately, many inexpensive parallel cables on
the market are not manufactured according to
standards. They may still work fine at the low
speeds common to many printers, but their defects
may cause output problems when data is transmitted
at high speeds.
The best solution is to replace your parallel cable
with one that meets standards.
If your PC has more than one parallel port, you
might try using a different port. (See Chapter 4,
NEC SuperScript Print Manager, for information on
setting SuperScript to a different parallel port.)
