Problem

Symptoms: Shading, the delta character, and shadow print differently with the HP LaserJet 4 (PCL) and the HP LaserJet 4 PostScript printer drivers. Solutions: The PostScript capabilities of the HP LaserJet 4 allow it to use variable shade percentages whereas the PCL driver only has eight different shade patterns to choose from. The delta character is built-in in PostScript mode but does not exist in PCL mode and is therefore printed graphically. The shadow difference between PostScript and PCL modes was a design decision. Users who would like to have a shadow look similar to PostScript in PCL mode can follow the steps in the Helps and Hints screen for the HP LaserJet 4.
