Some folks have had some problems with printing freehand files for their Installation books.
Some reasons might be;
- low ram cache on the color printer in 701 (we've requeste more)
- image files way too big for how big they are printing out (reducing image size will help speed things up.
- a big reason is if you have your freehand document on one media (hard drive, server, usb drive, ipod) and your image somewhere else. This can wreak havoc when the computer and printer are coordinating the combining of all of these resources to make the print.
My big solution is to output your freehand file to a pdf file. You can do this in the print dialogue box, but I recommend doing it by exporting it. To export go to file menu and down to export. In the export dialogue box pick pdf as the format. then export.
Once you export the file you can open it in Adobe Acrobat reader or in apple preview program. Print from one of these. Acrobat probably has better printing features.
