= SUMMARY =

When printing landscape download fonts on the Xerox 4045 printer, an incorrect printout may occur if the Titan 12 font is not downloaded. The printer will generate an error report, and one line of text per page will be printed.

To resolve this problem, download the Titan 12 font (even if none of the text is formatted as Titan 12).

When a document is formatted for Titan 12pt and no other font, Word does not download the default font for the Xerox 4045 (Titan 12pt). If a font other than Titan 12pt is used, the fonts should be downloaded correctly.

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information as it becomes available.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Word resets to the default font at the end of every line and at the end of every font. Titan 12 is the default font for Word’s Xerox 4045 landscape printer drivers. The Titan 12 font is not internal to the printer when in landscape orientation. If this font is not present when Word attempts to change back to the default, the printer will detect an error and perform a page feed. Word resets back to the default font at the end of every line, resulting in one line of printed output per page.

This problem will occur with Word’s landscape printer drivers for the Xerox 4045, which are as follows:
