When I print, I get a stair step effect

Problem:

When I print, I get a stair step effect.

Answer:

The reason for this is your Host (e.g. a UNIX system) uses LF as the end of line character and the printer is expecting CR/LF. This is generally associated with a "RAW" type Queue. To Translate the LF to CR/LF do the following:

  1. Verify the Queue type is RAW
  2. Select the Queue Setup in the Edit Queues Window.
  3. Select Translate LF to CR/LF.
