Why is the text jumbled when I print a PDF to the fileSMART Archive Printer?

Overview

document is unreadable. This is a known issue with PDFs and is the result of the typef aces in the

original PDF are not being available on the computer being used to do the printing. The issue isn't

related to the fileSMART software.

2. Go to Print.

3. Select the f ileSMART Archive printer.

4. Make sure that 'Print in Grayscale' is unticked. Then click ‘Advanced’.

5. Select the option to ‘Print as Image’.
