Translucent Raster Maps/Grids and Windows 9X Do Not Mix
You cannot print a translucent raster map or grid on Windows 9X platforms or export them to EMF or
WMF file formats. You need to use a non-metafile (for example, .BMP or .GIF) format to export raster
images on Windows 9X.
Customers printing large images (such as destination page size D, E, or A0) no longer have the 28,000
pixel limitation. If you experienced printer difficulties in the past due to this limitation, you should notice
a significant improvement in your printed images.
Sometimes the Older Driver is Better
When in doubt, if an older driver worked and the new one does not, go back to the older driver.
Make Room for the Metafile
Make sure you have plenty of temporary disk space, particularly if you are using the Print using the
Enhanced Metafile option. The system is trying to create a layered bitmap locally on disk.
Spool Locally, Print Globally
Try spooling print jobs locally rather than at the plotter. This allows the computer to rasterize your output
rather than the printer, which can be more efficient.
For print spooling instructions, see Troubleshooting Printing Problems in the Help System.
