print properly.

Setup the application:

- Select the entire document and change the font to Roman 10 CPI- the LW prints in a fixed
space font only.
- View the document and check alignments- cell widths in spreadsheets and tables may need
to be modified.
- If the application has a Page Preview, use it to check text alignments before printing.
If the printer does not print properly under Windows, the driver is not at fault. Refer to
TechNote WIN-01 for some tips on making your printer work. The LineWriter may require the NX-1 Handshake Adapter
from
PhotoLogic.
