= SUMMARY =

Incorrect alignment or justification of text may occur when printing to a Hewlett-Packard LaserJet printer if the font or PRD file selected in Word does not exactly match what is available on the printer.

The following are are four situations in which this problem may occur:


 * 1) The font that the text has been formatted for is not available on the printer. If you are using downloadable fonts, the fonts may not have downloaded correctly or may have been removed from the printer’s memory.
 * 2) The PRD file that is chosen in the Print Options menu does not correspond to the cartridge or downloadable font set that is currently being used.

In Word 5.50, choose Printer Setup from the file menu and choose the PRD.

  The model that is selected in Print Options does not match the LaserJet model.   The font that has been chosen is also available on another cartridge or as a soft font and is overriding the selection. 

= MORE INFORMATION =

An important fact to remember is that if a font is not available, the LaserJet will automatically substitute the closest available font. Also, if duplicates of the same font exist, the font used by the printer will be the first one it finds that matches the selection.

The LaserJet looks for fonts in the following order:


 * 1) Downloaded fonts
 * 2) Cartridge in left slot
 * 3) Cartridge in right slot
 * 4) Internal fonts
