Common Issues
This section discusses some common application and printer driver functionality issues.
Adobe Acrobat Printing
All versions of Adobe Acrobat have exhibited various forms of distorted output when printing from a
PCL driver. Stray lines, random character spacing, and data loss have been observed on various PDF
documents. A CentreWare PostScript driver is recommended for printing Acrobat PDF files.
Booklet and Multiple-Up (N-Up) Printing
Some applications do not support booklet or N-up printing.
 Microsoft Word mail merge documents cannot be printed as booklets or N-up.
 You may need to reset the Booklet or N-Up settings before you save your documents. Some
applications, such as Microsoft Word 97, will save the scaling setting with the document. When the
document is reopened later, the text and graphics may print in a reduced format unless you reset the
N-Pages Up option on the printer driver Layout/Watermark tab to 1-Up prior to printing. It is
generally best to reset this option to 1-Up before you save and close your documents.
 N-up and booklet printing features may not work properly with Corel Draw version 8.
 Use PCL Raster mode to print large N-Up/Booklet documents that do not print properly in Vector
mode.
Euro Symbol
The Xerox Euro font family was created to support the imaging of the Euro currency symbol with fonts
that do not yet support this character. The Xerox Euro font family consists of the Euro symbol in various
styles and weights designed to work in conjunction with the most popular font styles. Many styles
include a symbol at numeric width, which conforms to the standard design rules of the Euro symbol, as
well as a designer version of the character, created to more closely resemble the original font. To use the
symbol, set the font selection to Xerox Euro and type the keystroke that corresponds to the type style you
are using.
 Xerox Euro Fonts are provided on the CentreWare Printer Drivers CD within the
...\English\Drivers\Fonts\Windows folder.
 If the fonts on your printer are not updated to include the Euro, a box will be printed instead of the
Euro symbol. A workaround for this problem is to send Euro fonts to the printer as bitmapped
images.
 For PCL drivers, select the Always Send to Printer option in the CentreWare PCL driver when
printing the Euro symbol. If problems persist when printing the Euro symbol, select the Send as
Graphics option.
PDF Printing
When printing a PDF, sending a large file may result in the printing of print limit check error sheets
or only a banner sheet. If this occurs, print the PDF file using the PostScript printer driver or try
printing the PDF file using LPR.
