SYMPTOMS
If you try to print from Creative Writer to a non-color printer, such as
the Epson LQ-570, using the Epson LQ-2550 printer driver, patterns created
using the Creative Writer Word Shape Tool may not be printed.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, use the appropriate steps for your operating system:
Windows 95/98
If you use the Epson LQ-2550 driver provided with Windows 95 or 98, the
patterns are printed correctly; however, if you are using the older Epson
driver provided with Microsoft Windows 3.x in Microsoft Windows 95 or 98,
follow the steps for Windows 3.x listed below to resolve the problem.
Windows 3.x
- In Creative Writer, press CTRL+SHIFT+A, and then click OK. The Creative
Writer Control Room floating menu bar appears on the screen.
- On the File menu, click Printing Options.
- Click Set Local.
- Click Setup, and then click Options.
- Click the Color check box to clear it, and then click OK.
- Click OK twice to return to the Creative Writer Control Room floating
menu bar.
- On the File menu, click Return To Creative Writer.
Patterns you create using the Word Shape Tool should now be printed
successfully.
