Cannot Print in Draft Mode with Okidata Printers (86627)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q86627

SUMMARY

The drivers included for Okidata printers always print in near letter quality (NLQ) or letter quality (LQ) mode, whichever is the highest available mode. You cannot print in the Utility or High Speed Draft modes.

RESOLUTION

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Okidata printer drivers version 1.0. OKI drivers version 2.0 corrects this problem for the Okidata 24 pin printers.

MORE INFORMATION

When you print using the device fonts on Okidata printers, changing the Print Quality to Draft in the Print Setup dialog box does not affect the printing speed or quality. The printer still prints in the highest available mode, either NLQ or LQ.

This applies to the following drivers and printers.
