 * Microsoft Windows 3.1

SYMPTOMS
The Linotronic 530 printer driver provided with Microsoft Windows version 3.1 may not allow you to print out an area larger than 9-by-9 inches at high graphics resolution when you use user-defined paper sizes.

With the Linotronic driver selected with a high graphics resolution and a document size greater than 9-by-9 inches, the document prints in the lower- left corner of the paper only. The printout is no larger than the 9-by-9- inch area.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in PSCRIPT.DRV versions 3.5, 3.51, 3.52, 3.53. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

 * 1) Install a word processor or desktop publishing package capable of a graphics resolution greater than 1270 dpi (example, Ventura Publisher).
 * 2) In Windows 3.1, install and make the Linotronic 530 printer driver the default.
 * 3) In Control Panel, choose the Printers icon, then choose the Setup button. For the Paper Size, select User Defined.
 * 4) Set the document size to 16.5-by-19.5 inches (1650 by 1950) in the dialog box.
 * 5) From the Linotronic 530 on LPTx dialog box, choose the Options button, then the Advanced button.
 * 6) Select a graphics resolution (dpi) of 1693 or greater.
 * 7) Start the word processor or desktop publishing package and fill the page with text or graphics.
 * 8) Print the document.

Only the bottom-left corner of the document will print.
