The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: A customer had a problem with the FaceLift driver not form feeding the paper when the customer created a custom paper size with the FaceLift driver. According to Bitstream, this is a known problem with using the Bitstream FaceLift driver with IBM and Epson printers and compatibles.

Here is the "fix" for printing custom paper sizes and labels with FaceLift using the FaceLift printer driver. If anyone calls you with this type of problem and they're using the FLWP51A.ALL file (or FLWP50A.ALL), fax them this:

Printing Custom Page Sizes
for the A4 Form and Labels
with
FaceLift 1.5 for WordPerfect

1.      Find out the name of your printer's .ALL file. To do this, type DIR *.ALL at your WordPerfect directory in DOS (typically, C:\WP51\DIR *.ALL) and press Enter. The FaceLift .ALL file is preceded by the letters FLWP, i.e., FLWP51A.ALL or FLWP50A.ALL.

2.      Type PTR followed by a space and your .ALL filename at the WordPerfect directory in DOS for example, C:\WP51\PTR FLWP51A.ALL.

Note: If you get the error message, "File Not Found," it is because a) you typed the command incorrectly, so just retype the command; or b) you do not have the PTR Program installed. Consult your WordPerfect documentation for installing the PTR Program.

3.      You will see a screen that lists two printers. Highlight your printer model, and press Enter. The screen will bring up a list of options, with Initialize and Reset highlighted at the top. Press Enter on Initialize and Reset.

4.      Move the cursor down to the item Initialize at Start of Print Job, and press Enter. The cursor will move to the right side of the screen. Press Ctrl-Enter to edit this string. You will see text in the lower area of the screen. Using the Down Arrow key, locate the lines that read:
$psize=[27,67,0]L
punit=1
$eop=[12]
$sfeop=[12]

5.      Add a + (plus) just in front of the letter L on the first line. Then delete the line that reads $eop=[12]. The configuration should now look like this:
            $psize=[27,67,0]+L
            punit=1
            $sfeop=[12]

6.      Press F7 until you get a "Save File?" prompt at the bottom of the screen. Answer Yes to save the file, press Enter to keep the same filename, and answer Yes to replace the file. Exit the printer program once the file is saved. (If you have made a mistake in editing the file, just answer No to Save the File and Yes to Exit the Printer Program. Then you can start over from the beginning.)

7.      Load FLWP. Press Shift-F7, S to Select and 5 to delete your FLWP printer driver. Then press 2 for Additional Printers and locate the FLWP printer. Highlight it, press 1 select it. Press Enter to accept the .PRS filename and answer Yes to replace the file. You will have to re-mark your fonts through the Cartridges and Fonts listing, as described on pages 17-19 of the FaceLift for WordPerfect User Guide, version 1.5.

8.      IMPORTANT: Any custom page sizes, including those previously defined for the A4 form or labels, are lost whenever you delete and re-add your printer, such as instructed in step 7. Be sure to add any custom page sizes to your new printer. Consult your WordPerfect documentation for more information.

9.      In the Print Options menu, set the graphics quality to high.
