on a route may print as a solid black symbol.

For information about changing your video mode, see your Windows printed
documentation or online Help.

- From the File menu, choose Print.
- Choose Options and select the Use Hatched Brushes
box.
Workaround 3
To avoid this problem, install the Dell S3 video driver version 1.3
according to the manufacturer's instructions.
MORE INFORMATION
The fault occurs because of a fault within the video driver and not
the printer driver. The Dell S3 version 2.0 drivers can cause the
problem to occur. Changing to the earlier version 1.3 video driver
corrects the problem.
The Dell S3 version 2.0 driver causes striping of the text on map
printouts if the Print True Type as Graphics option is enabled. The
problem does not occur with the Dell S3 version 1.3 video driver.
The problem has been corrected in version 3.05 of Automap Road Atlas.
