Everything prints backwards
Choose the Print command and check what paper type you’ve selected in the
dialog box that opens. If you indicate that you’re printing on back-print film,
the printer reverses the image.
Watermark problems
The wrong watermark printed.
If you selected one watermark, but a different one printed, you can fix it by
changing the modification date and time of one of the watermark files. To
change the modification date, open one of the files, then save it using the Save
As command. (The watermark files are stored the Printing Prefs folder, which
is in the Preferences folder inside the System Folder.) When asked if you want
to replace the file, say yes.
I created a new watermark, but it doesn’t show up in the dialog box.
m Make sure the watermark was saved as a PICT or PICT2 file.
m Make sure the file was saved in the Printing Prefs folder, which is in the
Preferences folder inside the System Folder.
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
If you use plain paper, use 16- to 24-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.
