TOPIC

    Apple has discovered an issue where the first pages of a print job may print normally, but latter pages in the same print job will print very light.

DISCUSSION

    Apple has been able to reproduce this issue under the following circumstances:

    - printing from an 68040-based system
    - printing to the CSW 6500 (v.3.1.1) over AppleTalk
    - printing documents larger than two pages
    - printing text-only pages
    - printing in 'Normal' mode

    If you print from a PowerPC-based machine or if you print from an 040-based machine via serial, the problem does not occur. Also, pages with graphics don't seem to be affected - just text-only pages.

    Here are some workarounds:
    1) print via serial cable
    2) print in best mode
    3) print in draft mode
    4) print from a PowerPC-based machine (AppleTalk or serial)
