Vida Winter Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 On some MEP worksheets the characters are not mapped correctly - has anyone else noticed this and fixed it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherry in OH Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 How MEP prints is dependent on your printer and its settings. If you print on A4 paper, everything should print correctly. If you scale to fit letter size paper, the measuring exercises will be off. If you don’t scale and are using letter size paper, header, footer, or parts of both will be missing. Are you having some other issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoppeltGemoppelt Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 MEP is fitted to print on A4 paper, not letter sized. I usually copy the problems I want my kids to work on as a screen picture into word. This will come out the correct size. If you do all the problems on a page, use Sherry's suggestion and make sure that your printer settings don't say scale to fit letter size paper.

silver Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I don't think she's having a paper size issue, it sounds like the font isn't supported on her computer so she gets random characters where there should be letters or numbers. Is your PDF reader updated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vida Winter Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 I think my PDF reader is current. I don't think paper size will have any effect - it's on my screen even before printing. Some of the math characters are mis-mapped to the wrong character. For example the division sign for long division -- the ")" part of that comes out as a box so I don't get )-------- I get []---------- (that's as close as I can draw a division sign with ascii characters). Not only that, other random, weird mappings here and there which I *could* print and manually correct but I'd rather get it fixed before printing.

paceofnature Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I find that I get that when I print a pdf on quick/draft print. Not sure why it does it some times, but not others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I've seen that before, a while back. If you are looking at it online, try to download it and then open it with your reader. I think that is what worked for me. For some reason, it had something to do with the reader and browser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
