TOPIC



    I am trying to print a legal size page on my LaserWriter Select 310 using the multi-purpose tray, but the bottom three inches of the page are always blank. It looks like the printer is printing only on a letter size page. What is required to print on legal paper?

DISCUSSION


    The LaserWriter Select 310 shipped with a standard 1.5 megabyte memory configuration. This is sufficient for printing standard letter size documents, but does not provide sufficient memory for PostScript to create a legal size page buffer. Attempting to print legal size pages on a LaserWriter Select 310 that only has 1.5 megabytes of memory causes the bottom few inches of the page to be clipped. To enable legal size printing, install either the 1MB or 4MB memory upgrade. The LaserWriter Select 310 uses standard 72 pin, 100ns or faster memory SIMMs.

    Once the memory upgrade has been performed the LaserWriter Select 310
    preference file must be updated. To do this perform the following steps:

    Step 1
    ------
    Open the chooser and select the LaserWriter Select 310 driver and port

    Step 2
    ------
    Press the 'Setup' button to obtain the current printer configuration

    Step 3
    ------
    Press the 'Done' button to save the current configuration information

    To confirm that the memory has been properly installed and the driver configured try printing a legal size page. If the page prints properly then the additional memory has been recognized by the printer. For further confirmation, the Technical Information Library article titled "LaserWriter Select 310: Determining Configuration" contains PostScript code you can download to the printer to confirm the memory amount.
