PageMaker Does Not Print Large TrueType Fonts to TrueLaser

• Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you try to print large (Type I) TrueType fonts to a MicroTek TrueLaser printer from PageMaker version 5.0 or 5.0a, the fonts are not printed. The printer displays a "Processing" message and then goes back online without printing anything.

CAUSE

The PostScript interpreter in the MicroTek TrueLaser printer does not conform to standard PostScript as defined by Adobe.

RESOLUTION

Set the PostScript driver to download fonts to the printer as native TrueType fonts. To do so, follow these steps:

1. In Control Panel, double-click the Printers folder.

2. Use the right mouse button to click the MicroTek TrueLaser printer icon, and then click Properties on the menu that appears.

3. On the Fonts tab, click the Send Fonts As button.

4. In the Send TrueType Fonts As box, click In Native Format.

5. Click OK.
