6-3 Printer Driver Settings

6-4 Memory and Performance

6-1 Operation

Depending on the application, the printing may be processed in different order from the displayed text order. Because the text information within the DocuWorks document converted from those applications is held in a different order from the displayed text order, the search result may not be in the displayed order. (5572)

Depending on the settings of applications or fonts, characters may be printed as images. If this happens, the converted DocuWorks documents hold no text information and so cannot be searched using text search. (6537)

If you use Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5.5, when you print out Help topics by selecting [Print the selected headline and all its subtopics], the right edge of the page may not be printed. If this happens, use a version of Internet Explorer other than 5.5. (7560)

6-2 Viewing and Printing

In some applications, it may be difficult to see the color difference in printout than that in the data being viewed on the screen. If you convert this type of data to a DocuWorks file, the color in the file may appear different than the original data. (46)

When you convert some application data to a DocuWorks file, patterns in the data may appear to be "filled" when viewed on the screen. However, this problem will not happen when you print the file. (51)

Patterns in the DocuWorks files created from some applications may not be displayed correctly. However, this problem will not happen when you print the file. (65)

If an application file contains hatch patterns, when you convert it to DocuWorks file, it may appear different from the original data when viewed in its application. However, this problem will not happen when you print the DocuWorks file. (174)

If the screen display is set to less than 256 colors, then color in a DocuWorks file will appear dithered pattern. However, this problem will not happen when you print the file. (174)

If a DocuWorks file is created from application data containing bitmaps and color patterns, it may take a while to display the file in Viewer Light. Also if a text annotation exceeds a certain size, its text may be displayed as slash lines. (670)

When you create a DocuWorks file from the Acrobat data, characters of some alphabetical and symbolic fonts may be changed to strange symbols. (1270)

When you print a DocuWorks file containing graphics filled with shades or patterns to a GDI, ESC/Page, or PostScript printer, the print result may differ from the case where the data is printed directly from its application software. (1861, 2247)

When a DocuWorks file created from Freelance is printed to HP Laser Jet 4V, the underscore and strikethrough lines may not be printed and may become white. (1904)

When you print a DocuWorks file created from application data with long width to a PostScript printer, the portion filled with patterns (such as vertical, horizontal, or slanted line hatch patterns) may appear rotated by 90 degrees. (1908)

When a DocuWorks file created from Lotus 1-2-3 is printed to HP Laser Jet 4V, part of the background pattern of graphs may be missing. (2039)

When a DocuWorks file containing 1-point FreeHand annotations is printed to HP LaserJet 4V, some of the annotations may be printed as dotted lines. (2078)

In Windows NT® 4.0, Freehand or Marker line with the width over 9 points may appear jagged when viewed or printed. (2129)

When you print selecting [Force to Print Slash Pattern for Transparent Color] in the [Print] dialog box, while transparent color will be replaced with slash pattern, the slash lines may interfere with the pattern in color and result in dirty spots. (2149)

In Windows® 95 or Windows® 98, when you print a DocuWorks file to HP LaserJet 5si Mopier, big ellipse annotations may not be printed. (3356)

In Windows NT® 4.0, when you create DocuWorks documents from Excel 97 with cell patterns applied and print it using HP LaserJet 5si Mopier, the cell patterns and the texts (except black-colored texts) may be printed in white. (3413)

Under Windows NT® 4.0, Windows® 2000, or Windows® XP, when you display a DocuWorks document created from a Quark Xpress file in which images are rotated and pasted, white lines may be inserted in the images. (7618)

Under Windows NT® 4.0, Windows® 2000, or ® XP, when you display and/or print a DocuWorks document created from a Quark Xpress file in which images are rotated and pasted, small black dots may be displayed and/or printed in parts of the images. (7622)

6-3 Printer Driver Settings

For a DocuWorks document created from application data, be sure to set the print resolution of the file to that used in conversion. Otherwise, the print result of the DocuWorks file may differ from that of the application data. (623)

Depending on the printer driver in use, DocuWorks files created from large bitmaps may not be printed correctly. For example, a Postscript printer cannot correctly print DocuWorks files created from A2-3010dpi equivalent (4960 x 7015 dots) or A3-600dpi equivalent (7015 x 9921 dots) monochrome bitmaps. In this case, be sure to decrease the printer driver's resolution. (2182)

6-4 Memory and Performance

On Windows® 95, when the memory or hard disk space is not sufficient, some message characters may be changed to strange symbols. If this happens, reboot Windows® 95. (17)

When there is not sufficient memory, image of the DocuWorks file page may not appear and you will see an "X" in the page. To solve this problem, reduce the zoom ratio, or close other running applications and then restart Viewer Light. (21)

When you print a DocuWorks files created from complex data (pattern fill, gradation, heavy use of bitmap, etc.) to a PostScript printer, the PostScript data may become bigger in size. This may result in longer printing time of the original data or the print's capacity may be exceeded. (2030)
