CHECK ARE YOU USING POSTSCRIPT?
Macintosh
Characters and figures print with unnatural notches. Gradation appears streaked.
AN APPLICATION PROGRAM THAT ONLY SUPPORTS
The BJC-2100 is a QuickDraw printer and is not a PostScript printer. Therefore, if you use an application program that only supports PostScript, the lines of characters and figures may print with unnatural notches. Some PostScript application programs have a setting that allows you to use ATM fonts or TrueType fonts. When you specify the ATM fonts or TrueType fonts in an application program, characters, figures and gradation can be reproduced properly.
