SUMMARY
=======

The drivers included for Okidata printers always print in near letter quality
(NLQ) or letter quality (LQ) mode, whichever is the highest available mode. You
cannot print in the Utility or High Speed Draft modes.

RESOLUTION
==========

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Okidata printer drivers
version 1.0. OKI drivers version 2.0 corrects this problem for the Okidata 24
pin printers.

MORE INFORMATION
================

When you print using the device fonts on Okidata printers, changing the Print
Quality to Draft in the Print Setup dialog box does not affect the printing
speed or quality. The printer still prints in the highest available mode, either
NLQ or LQ.

This applies to the following drivers and printers.
