Aptiva - Too few fonts in Microsoft Windows

Applicable to: World-Wide

Service Information:
If your printer is capable of printing a large amount of fonts but you can only have a choice of a couple of fonts in MS Works, this is due to the correct printer driver not being installed. As default Windows uses the generic/text only driver. To install the correct driver simply open up the MAIN folder from the PROGRAM MANGER, then open CONTROL PANEL and then PRINTERS. A printers dialogue box will now be displayed.

If your printer is displayed in the installed printer drivers then highlight it and click on SET AS DEFAULT PRINTER. You should now have the fonts you require. If your printer is not displayed then we need to install it as follows:-
1. Click on ADD.
2. From the list select your printer.
3. Click on INSTALL.
4. Then with your printer highlighted in the installed printers section click on SET AS DEFAULT PRINTER and you should now have the fonts your require.
