PostScript Additional Driver Is Damaged

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

Problem

Symptoms: The customer has an Apple LaserWriter Plus and is trying to print the airplane symbol in Zapf Dingbats font using the Compose feature (using character set 12 illustrated in the CHARMAP.TST file). He says he can print the CHARMAP.TST file and all the characters print out fine. However, when he tries to use the Compose feature nothing prints. Solutions: The PS table in the PostScript Additional driver was damaged when it was built for the master. If the customer copies the PS table from the Apple file to the PostScript Additional file (he could just copy from .PRS file to .PRS file), this should fix the problem. The steps to do this are as follows:

      1.      Type PTR at a DOS prompt
      2.      Press Shift-F10 to retrieve the .ALL file
      3.      Press F6 to see the list of PS tables
      4.      Highlight the correct PS table name
      5.      Press 4 to Copy
      6.      Type in the Additional .PRS file name
      7.      Exit

The PS table is shared and should simply copy over the original. This will also be fixed on the next printer master which should be in March 1990. Watch SCN's for confirmation.
