Halftone Frequency Problem in PostScript Driver 3.53 (92939)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q92939 SYMPTOMS
When you use the Microsoft PostScript Printer Driver version 3.53 with
some PostScript printers, changing the Halftone Frequency setting does
not affect the output of the printer. The Halftone Frequency setting
is accessible through the Advanced Options of Printer Setup for a
PostScript printer.
CAUSE
The Halftone Frequency setting controls the number of lines per inch
used in producing halftone screens of gray scale images. On some
PostScript printers, including the IBM 4029 and the Linotronic 100,
changing this setting from its default of 60 does not change the
output of the printer. This problem only occurs when using Microsoft
PostScript Driver version 3.53.
WORKAROUND
The only workaround is to revert to the PostScript Driver version 3.5,
which ships with Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the PostScript Printer
Driver version 3.53. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here as it becomes available.
