Printing This chapter explains how to print documents on a P ersonal L aserW riter 300 connected to your own Macintosh, to share the printer with other users on a network, and to use shared printers connected to other computers on the network.
Choosing face-down or face-up deliver y Y ou can select either face-down or face-up paper deliver y with your P ersonal L aserW riter 300, depending on the type of paper you are using. When you choose face-down deliver y, paper comes out into the deliver y tray on top of the printer , face down and stacked in order .
Using the Chooser the first time you print Y ou use the Chooser desk accessor y to tell the Macintosh where to send print jobs. In the Chooser , you choose the port to which you connected the P ersonal L aserW riter 300, and can also choose among printers connected to your network, if any .
Defining the page setup The Page Setup command is found in the File menu of nearly all Macintosh programs. Depending on the program you are using, some of the options in this dialog box may change. Y ou need to choose Page Setup only if you want to change settings.
P rinting a document The P ersonal L aserW riter 300 prints your document using the cassette or manual feed. See the next section for instructions if you choose Manual F eed as the paper source. 1. Open the document you want to print or select its icon in the Macintosh Finder .
P rinting paper or envelopes with the manual feed slot If you want to use paper that is different from the paper in the cassette, you can use the manual feed slot to insert sheets one at a time as the document is printed. Y ou can also use this slot to print on envelopes and other nonstandard paper sizes.
P rinting on both sides of a page F ollow these steps to print a document using both sides of the paper . 1. Print the first side of the page using manual feed or the paper cassette. 2. T ake out the printed sheet, tur n it over , and print the second side using manual feed, inserting the sheet as shown here.
3. Make Apple T alk active if it is not already active. 4. Click Setup. 5. Click Share this Printer and enter the options for the shared printer and in the Setup dialog box. Background printing is automatically turned on when a printer is shared. F or details, see the Print Monitor instructions in your Macintosh User ’s Guide .
Using a shared printer connected to another Macintosh T o print on a shared P ersonal L aserW riter 300, network users must have the L aserW riter 300 driver installed on their computers, Apple T alk must be active, and the shared printer and Macintosh must be turned on.
Controlling the use of your printer by others After you tur n on the sharing feature, you still have complete control over the shared printer: m Y ou can turn sharing on or off at any time. m Y ou can type a password in the Sharing Setup dialog box so only those who know the password can use your printer .
Tips and T roubleshooting This chapter provides solutions to printing problems you may encounter while using your printer . s W arning: If you have a problem with your printer and nothing presented in this chapter solves it, see the service and support information that came with your printer or computer .
m Don ’t open the dr um-protection shutter on the toner cartridge. m Be sure the power cord is within easy reach, should you want to unplug the printer at any time. Since the P ersonal L aserW riter 300 has no power switch, unplugging it is the only way to turn it off.
Checking the printer ’s status lights Always check the status lights first when a printing problem occurs. These often tell you the cause of the problem. m The Ready/In Use light should glow steadily whenever the printer is on, and blink when it is printing.
Solving some common problems The Chooser doesn ’t show the L aserW riter 300 icon If the L aserW riter 300 icon is missing from the box that identifies different printer types, you need to install the printer software from the disks that came with your printer .
P rinting takes a long time Printing may be slow on pages containing complex graphics or pages printed using landscape (horizontal) orientation. The processing speed of your computer and the amount of memor y it has directly affect printing time. A faster computer or more memor y results in faster printing.
T ype looks jagged or some text changes to the Geneva font The most likely cause of this problem is that you are using a non- T r ue T ype font. L aserW riter 300 printers use two kinds of fonts: outline fonts and bitmapped fonts. T r ue T ype fonts are outline fonts.
2. L ook in the list of fonts for the font you wish to use. If it is a T r ue T ype font, its icon will look something like this: If it is a non-T r ue T ype font, its icon will look like this: If you are using System 6, you will see a list of font names in the F ont-DA Mover .
The printer prints on only part of the paper Make sure you have selected the appropriate paper size in the Page Setup dialog box. Check the adjustment of the sliding backstop in the paper cassette to make sure it is correct for your paper size. See “Loading the Paper Cassette” in Chapter 2.
If the Paper Jam status light is on, follow these steps: 1. Remove the paper cassette. Be sure the paper is loaded correctly in the paper cassette. The stack of paper should fit under all the corner brackets. With the paper cassette removed, look inside the printer and remove any jammed sheets you see.
3. Open the printer ’s back door as shown below. Pr ess the paper release lever and pull the jammed sheet out through the front. This type of jam is often caused by an inter r uption in printing. 4. If the paper is wrapped around the roller , remove it as shown below .
P aper feeds improperly If paper tears, gets skewed, or comes through the printer crumpled, it may not be entering the printer properly. Remove any jammed sheets from inside the printer . Remove the paper cassette, turn the stack of paper over , and replace the cassette (most paper has one side that prints better).
T oner stains appear on printed pages If the printed pages are not clean, there may be a buildup of toner on the printing rollers. If stains appear on the backs of printed pages, you may have printed an image that is larger than the paper , causing toner to be deposited in the paper path.
About paper Many problems, such as toner smearing, paper curling, or paper feeding improperly , can be caused by the paper you are using. T o assure good results, use only paper , envelopes, and transparencies that are manufactured for use with laser printers and photocopy machines.
About fonts The disks provided with your L aserW riter contain fonts from the most widely used font families. F ont families (also called typefaces) can be classified into two groups: serif and sans serif . The small accents at the ends of the strokes of the letters are serifs.
Use restraint when choosing fonts A good rule of thumb to use when choosing fonts for your documents is: Avoid using more than two font families on the same page. It is fine to use several sizes and styles (such as bold or italic) of the same font family on the same page.
Be careful setting alignment and columns Properly aligning your text can enhance or detract from your document’s readability . One of the most common mistakes is to set a document in many narrow columns, with full justification (text lined up on the left and right).
