When I print a document in the PC environment, the top and bottom get clipped.
If you’re using Epson emulation, open PC Print Spooler in the Extensions
folder, choose Preferences from the File menu, and select “Gaps between
pages.” In the PC environment, configure your applications to print to a
60-line page.
When I print a document from a DOS application, the fonts don’t look right.
Try choosing different fonts. If you’re using Epson fonts instead of bitmap
fonts, use monospaced fonts for best formatting results.
If you’re using Epson emulation, you may have chosen Faster Printing in the
Preferences dialog box of the PC Print Spooler, which prints the whole
document using a single font. Choose Better Quality and try printing again.
You may have selected a proportional space font as your default font in the
PC Print Spooler. If you select a proportional space font, the formatting of
your files may change. Try selecting a monospaced font such as Courier or
Monaco or using the graphical fonts available in your DOS application.
When I print a document in the PC environment, text doesn’t print or is cut off, or text
that should print at the bottom of one page prints on the next page.
Try selecting “No gaps between pages” in the PC Print Spooler Preferences
dialog box, and try printing again. (When you print after choosing this option,
the PC Print Spooler software will print 66 lines per page instead of 60 lines
per page.) For more information, see “Setting Printer Options” in Chapter 3,
“Setting Up the PC Environment.”
I selected “No gaps between pages” in the PC Print Spooler Preferences dialog box, but
text near the top and bottom of each page still doesn’t print or is cut off.
Most laser and ink jet printers cannot print close to the edges of a page. Find
out the minimum margins for your printer in the specifications section of the
manual that came with your printer. Then reset the top and bottom margins in
the application from which you are printing.
When printing multiple files in Windows 95, I keep getting PostScript errors.
Print one file at a time. Printing multiple files may cause a PostScript error. To
verify that the file has finished printing, check the Windows 95 printer queue.
