Semi-Transparent Fills Are Black on Printout (Canon BJC-610) (142279)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q142279

SYMPTOMS

When you print an object with a semi-transparent fill from PowerPoint 95 to a Canon BJC-610 printer, the object may appear black on the printout.

CAUSE

This behavior is caused by the Canon BJC-610 printer driver. This driver is shipped with the printer by Canon and is a Windows 3.1 driver. PowerPoint 95 uses some features new to Windows 95 to create semi- transparent fills. The printer driver does not understand these printing commands and interprets the semi-transparent fill as a black fill.
