7. Pick up your printed papers, straighten
them and reinsert them face up into the upper
paper tray.
Note:
Some printed sheets may become curled.  Curled sheets may cause
paper jams.  Always straighten the sheets before reinserting them
into the upper paper tray.
Duplex printing errors
If an error occurs during Duplex Printing, please use the following procedures to recover.
If an error (e.g. paper jam) occurs while you are printing the front side of the page -
the odd numbered pages - clear the error as instructed in the Print Status Window.
Click the Resume button to continue the current duplex printing job as usual.
If an error occurs while printing the back side of the page - the even numbered pages
- clear the error as instructed in the Print Status Window.  If the page being printed
when the error occurs is damaged, insert a new piece of paper into the printer after
removing the damaged one.  Click the Resume button to continue printing.  After
all pages are finished printing, reinsert that new piece of paper and reprint the corre-
sponding odd numbered page on the opposite side.
Using fonts in the Windows Direct (GDI) mode
The usefulness of the WinType 4000's "What You See Is What You Get" method is ap-
parent when you use fonts.  In Windows, any font you can see on the screen will work
with this printer.  This includes TrueType, 35 of which have been bundled with this
printer driver, Adobe Type Manager (Type 1) and Intellifont for Windows font formats.
TrueType fonts are usually the most efficient, since they are already built into Windows
3.1.  In most cases, there is negligible performance difference between TrueType and
other kinds of fonts such as Type 1 and Intellifont.
One advantage of the Windows Direct (GDI) mode becomes clear as you work with
documents using many different types of fonts.  A standard printer language, such as
PostScript, must get the font information each time it processes a new font in a docu-
ment.  Therefore, a document using a large number of different fonts can take a notice-
ably long time to print.  In Windows Direct (GDI) mode, font information is processed at
the time that the document is retrieved and displayed on your screen.  For that reason,
Windows printing requires only a small amount of time for processing.  In the end you
are able to get fast text printing regardless of the number of fonts you employed.
