The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft Automap Road Atlas for Windows, version 4.0 == 

= SYMPTOMS =

When you print maps to some printers, such as the following, Place Names are not printed:


 * Hewlett-Packard (HP)
 * LaserJet, Panasonic KXP-4450
 * Epson Stylus Color ESC/P2
 * Canon BJC-610
 * Canon BJC-620

= CAUSE =

For ease of readability, Automap Road Atlas masks (outlines) the Place Names when printing. Because some laser printer drivers do not correctly interpret the instructions sent by Automap, place names may not print.

= RESOLUTION =

The steps below set up Automap to select Text Out. Selecting Text Out prints the text without masking.


 * 1) From the Help menu, choose About Road Atlas.
 * 2) Press and hold down the SHIFT key while you choose the System Info button.
 * 3) From the Masked Text Out section, select Text Out.
 * 4) Choose OK.
