Problem
You want to print reverse text--white text on a black background--but you don't know if your printer will print it properly and you don't know the steps to do it.

Concept
Many laser and PostScript printers can print reverse text. These are some of the more common printers:

       Apple LaserWriter
       Apple LaserWriter Plus
       Brother HL-8V
       CalComp ColorMaster Plus 6613 PS
       HP PaintJet XL300
       HP LaserJet III, IIID, IIISi, and IIIP
       HP LaserJet IV
       Kyocera ECOSYS aSi, FS-1500A
       NEC Silentwriter Model 95 PS
       NEC Colormate PS
       Okidata OL 810
       Okidata OL 830
       QMS ColorScript 100 model 10
       Sharp JX-9500PS.

If your printer isn't on this list, you may still be able to print reverse text, but it isn't a default (built-in) feature of your printer. Refer to your printer manual for help.


Solution
If your printer is able to print reverse text,

1      Press Graphics (Alt+F9), then choose Figure (1).

2      Choose Options (4), then choose Inside Border Space (3).

3      Type .1 and press Enter for each side.

4      Choose Gray Shading (9). Type 100 then press Enter.
5      Press Exit (F7) to return to the document editing screen.

6      Press Graphics (Alt+F9), then choose Figure (1).

7      Choose Create (1), then choose Size (7).

8      Choose Set Width/Auto Height (1). Type the width you want the box to be, then press Enter.

9      Choose Edit (9).

You are now in the Graphics Edit screen.

10      Press Font (Ctrl+F8), then choose Print Color (5).

11      Choose White (2).

12      Press Exit (F7).

13      Type your text.

When you are finished typing your text,

14      Press Font (Ctrl+F8), then choose Print Color (5).

15      Choose Black (1).

If you do not change the color back to black before you exit the box, it is possible that some of the text outside the box on that same line will be affected.

16      Press Exit (F7) three times to return to the document editing screen.
