= SYMPTOMS =

When you are creating a draw object using Works 3.0 or 4.0, if you select one of the pre-made pattern fills and print to the Epson Color Stylus printer, the object prints at printer resolution instead of at screen resolution.

The printer prints the pattern fill at 720 dots per inch (dpi). This causes the pattern to appear so small that the object looks as if it is filled with shading rather than a pattern.

= WORKAROUND =

To resolve this problem, do the following:


 * 1) On the File Menu, click Print.
 * 2) In the Print dialog box, click Options.
 * 3) In the Options dialog box, click Screen Pattern.
 * 4) Click OK, and then click Print.

The document should now print using the pattern displayed on the screen.

= MORE INFORMATION =

The Epson Color Stylus printer is manufactured by a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product’s performance or reliability.
