Printing Problems

The printer does not print:

• Check the cable connection between the printer and the computer.
• Make sure the printer is turned on.
• If several printers are installed in your system, make sure the correct printer is selected in the program.
• Check printer paper source selection: some printers have several input trays.
• Make sure paper is properly loaded into the printer.
• Some printer models do not start printing when the paper output tray is closed.

If your text or images have low quality (light bands or gaps on the printout; the printout fades out; you see wrong colors), check ink or toner level.

If the printout is blurry or ink dries out for a long time:

• Make sure the paper meets printer specification.
• Paper face is on the correct side.
• The proper paper sort is selected in the printer settings.

To localize the problem cause, make test print from other software. If the problem persists, the most possible, the problem is connected with hardware.

For more detailed guidance refer your printer User's Manual.

Cards do not line up at printing

If printed cards goes out the cards' boundary on the paper, you should calibrate your printer.

The program cannot access the clipart moved to other location

By some reasons you may want to move the clipart and card templates to other location. In this case you should tell the program a new clipart location. There are several ways to do this.

Way 1
Using program preferences

Move the folder with the internal clipart to a new location. Let's suppose, you are moving the BeLight Software folder from "/Library/Application Support" to other folder on your disk.
Leave the new clipart location open in Finder, we will use it later.

1. Open the Terminal application from the Applications/Utilities folder.


2. Copy the following line to the Clipboard (Cmd-C)
   
   defaults write com.belightsoft.BusinessCardComposer FTUseSharedContentLibrary -bool true
   
   and paste into the Terminal window (Cmd-V).


3. Press the Return button.


4. Copy the next line to the Clipboard (Cmd-C)
   
   defaults write com.belightsoft.BusinessCardComposer FTSharedContentLibraryPath
   
   and paste into the Terminal window (Cmd-V).


5. Press the Space button.


6. Drag the BeLight Software folder from Finder (new location) onto the Terminal window.
   You will get in terminal line similar the following:
   
   defaults write com.belightsoft.BusinessCardComposer FTSharedContentLibraryPath /Library/Application Support/BeLight Software
   
   The end of the command line (shown in blue only for your reference) will be different because is shows your own clipart location.
   The shown sample command writes the default path to the clipart.


7. Press the Return button.

Way 2
Using folder alias

Move the folder with the clipart to a new location. Let's suppose, you are moving the BeLight Software folder from "/Library/Application Support" to other folder on your disk.
Leave the new clipart location open in Finder, we will use it later.

1. Open the Terminal application from the Applications/Utilities folder.


2. Copy the following line to the Clipboard (Cmd-C)
   
   ln -s
   
   and paste into the Terminal window (Cmd-V).


3. Press the Space button.


4. Drag the BeLight Software folder from Finder (new location) onto the Terminal window.


5. Press the Space button.


6. Copy the following line to the Clipboard (Cmd-C)
   
   ~/desktop/BeLight Software
   
   and paste into the Terminal window (Cmd-V).


7. Press the Return button.
   An alias will be created on your Desktop.


8. Move the alias to the "/Library/Application Support/" folder (default location of the clipart and templates).
