We've had this problem since getting Protel. And two other similar problems.
1: Invert Circles on IO's are missing. 2: Some outline boxes (e.g. text box) are missing (does not affect filled boxes) Protel say its the printer drivers fault (but no other program produces such wierd output). I gave up a long time ago expecting Protel to fix 99se problems. It seems to happen more prevelenty in PCL6, though i've seen it with PCL5. The solution is to go to printer settings | print quality | Graphics Mode and set to to 'raster' also set halftone to 'Protographic Image'. If this does not work, try a different PCL5 driver for your printer, there is often more than one. Hope this helps. Jason. P.S. Our printers are Xerox N17PS2 (Postscript Driver) Ricoh Aficio 350 (PCL5e driver) -----Original Message----- From: Ray Mitchell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 05 September 2002 19:09 To: Protel EDA Forum Subject: [PEDA] Long overbars on printed output Hello, I'm using Protel 99SE w/SP6 on Windows 2000. Many of my schematic symbols (from the Protel Libraries) have overbars on the low-true signal names. When viewed on my monitor they look fine but when I print the page all of the overbars become several inches long, extending out of the entire symbol itself in many cases. This totally destroys and confuses the look of the printed schematic. I'm using an HP 4MV in landscape mode for all printing. I imagine this must have something to do with a printer font problem, although everything else I print other than Protel schematics comes out fine. Any ideas or specifics on how to remedy this? How about if someone invents something, maybe we should call it WYSIWYG, so that what you see is what you get:-) Thanks, Ray Mitchell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ************************************************************************ * Tracking #: BAB253005421794DB82EBAD5B2886258B8073B1B * ************************************************************************ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
