ACC: Print Overlaps Printing an MS Access Query Using TTY.DRV

• Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0

SYMPTOMS

Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

When you print a query using the Windows Generic Text Only printer driver (TTY.DRV), the print overlaps on every sixth or seventh line.

RESOLUTION

The TTY.DRV driver can print only six lines per inch. You must set the row height to 12 to make the line spacing work correctly with this printer driver. To change the row height, choose Row Height from the Format menu and type "12" (without the quotation marks). This allows the TTY.DRV to print your query without overlapping text.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
