LaserWriter 16/600 PS: Line on Lower Right Side of Page (5/97)

We have an external 80MB HD connected to our LW 16/600 PS. We installed 100 fonts on the drive, and now, whenever we print, a thin line is printed on the lower-right side of each page. It seems that the length of this line depends on the number of fonts installed. The line is NOT printed when only 20 or 40 fonts are installed. The hard drive was formatted with the Apple Printer Utility.
Apple has seen reports of this problem on the LaserWriter 16/600 PS, but only when using third-party hard drives.

There are two workarounds for this problem:

- Enable FinePrint
- Add more printer RAM

This problem does not occur if you use the Apple-supported hard drive included in the LaserWriter 16/600 PS Internal Hard Disk Drive Kit, M3297G/A. This drive, an IBM Shima drive, is the only drive that has been qualified to work with the LaserWriter 16/600 PS.
