Apple Color StyleWriter 4500 - Manual (Page 81)

Text lines up in columns on the screen but not when it prints
You may have used spaces (rather than tabs) to line up the text. Because
printers interpret spaces differently than the screen does, the text may fail to
line up when you print it. Try replacing the spaces with tabs.
You can also make columns by using spaces with a monospace font—such as
Courier or Monaco—instead of tabs. A monospace font is one in which every
character has the same width.
Everything prints backwards
Choose Page Setup from the File and see whether there’s an X in the “Flip
Horizontal” checkbox. If so, click to make the X disappear.
Print quality is poor
Most image problems are caused by problems with an ink cartridge or with
your choice of paper. Don’t use the following types of paper:
m erasable typing paper
m damaged, wrinkled, or stapled paper
m multipart forms (“carbonless carbons”)
m glossy paper, unless its especially designed for StyleWriter printers
For best print quality, use coated, glossy, or PhotoGrade paper. If you use
plain paper, use 16- to 36-pound copier paper; 20-pound paper is
recommended. Plain papers can vary widely. If you’re not happy with one
kind of paper, try a different brand.
