Square Shaded Boxes Print In Poor Quality |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: Rounded shaded graphics boxes print with a higher quality than square shaded boxes. Solutions: This feature is working as designed. How/Why: When you print square shaded boxes, WordPerfect asks the printer driver if it supports its own lines and shades. If the printer does support its own lines and shades, WordPerfect will use the printer's method of printing shades and lines. This requires much less data and the print job will print much faster. However, HP LaserJet printers do support lines and shades, but only eight different shaded patterns. This makes shades like 15% and 10% print exactly the same. Since HP LaserJet printers don't have a way to print round corner boxes using their internal features, WordPerfect must rasterize all the data and send it to the printer pixel by pixel. This will make the quality of the shaded image appear much smoother, but it will take much longer for the printer to print the data. The only workaround is to select rounded corners and make the radius of the corner .001". This will make the corners appear round, but WordPerfect will rasterize the shading. Users can also turn off the Rules and Shading feature in the printer driver using the following steps in the PTR Program, but it is not recommended: 1. Enter the PTR Program and retrieve the .PRS file for the printer 2. Press Enter to edit the printer then choose G for Graphics 3. Choose option 3 for Rules and Shaded Boxes 4. Cursor to NOT SUPPORT and mark it with an asterisk 5. Exit PTR and save the .PRS file This modification will force WordPerfect to rasterize all lines and shaded elements (e.g., page borders, tables, graphics boxes, etc.). This will slow down printing and require more memory from the printer. |
