    A fix for when masked text is blacked out on a Xerox Printer

    My printer was printing out masked texted with a black background. This was actually happening to any computer that printed to the printer from AutoCad that was on our network. This is what I did to fix it and it has worked perfectly.

     

    AutoCad 2008:

     

    • Go to Plot
    • Click properties with printer selected
    • Click custom properties
    • Click color options
    • Under Automatic-> click the down arrow
    • Switch from automatic to custom
    • Click down arrow under text & graphics
    • Click none

    I beleive this works because autocad is looking to at the masked as a white image which it wants to print out black. So if you switch it to custom...it automatically won't switch it.

     

    Hope it works for you too!
