SYMPTOMS

    1. Click the Start button.

    2. On the Settings menu, click Control Panel, then double-click the 

          Printers icon.

    3. In the Printers folder, double-click the icon for your printer.

    4. Click the Printer menu, then click Properties.

    5. Click the Detail tab, and then click the Spool Settings button.

    6. Change the Spool Data Format from EMF to RAW.

  • Consult your software manufacturer about a possible software upgrade.

MORE INFORMATION

The Enhanced Metafile format allows Windows 95 to use a full 32-bit GDI instruction set. When you print using the EMF spooling option, Windows 95 creates an EMF that contains a complete set of instructions that re-create the image as printed output. This causes control of your computer to return more quickly than under previous versions of Windows.
