= SUMMARY =

When using the ImageWriter LQ with the 66% Page Reduction option selected, Print Preview will show a full page of text. However, when the document is printed, the text may only fill approximately one-half to three-fourths of the page.

This is different than the way reduction is usually performed by Microsoft Word. Normally, when doing a print reduction, the text and the margins are reduced, and the printable area is increased, allowing for more text on the page. However, when using the ImageWriter LQ’s 66% Page Reduction option, the printable area is increased, but not enough to fill up the page. This limits the text to only a portion of the adjusted page size and prevents the text from printing to the bottom of the page.

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