Tables Vs. Line Draw With Printer Memory And |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: How will a complex table tax the printer (memory) and how much longer will it take? Solutions: Actually it will not tax the printer's memory, as a matter of fact it will much less than a comparable table of line draw (about half as much as line draw). But because a table uses graphic lines they must be calculated and that will take time for WP to calculate the file and spool it. A good example: Two documents 10 columns 32 rows, one created with line draw, the other with created with tables. Line draw: It took 5 to 6 minutes to create a sloppy grid. Printing just the page of line draw took 12 sec from start to end of print job. The network recorded 31,000 bytes. Creating the table took 8 seconds. Printing the table took 4 minutes 30 sec from start to end of job. The network recorded 15,000 bytes. Both jobs took the same amount of time for the laser printer to organize the information and print it. (it took an extra 2 seconds to download the line draw page.) |
