Epson FX-286 - Text And Graphics Not Aligning
DocumentID: 607601

WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: When printing with the Epson FX-286 printer, numbers do not align with graphics lines. Solutions: The program is working correctly. The Epson FX-286 printer driver is a space fill driver. When printing text, the printer uses space fill, which means that the units of measure will be 1/10th (if the customer is using a 10cpi font). However, when the customer uses graphics with the driver, the printer uses 1/120 unit of measure. This means that the graphics will be placed as accurately as possible according to the program, but is limited to the motion units. This amounts to a rounding error between the units of measure being used for the text and the graphics. The graphics will be placed accurately to 1/120th of an inch, but the text is only being placed accurately to 1/10th of an inch.

NOTE:      This situation also applies to IBM, Star, and other space fill printer drivers.
