IBM 4019 LaserPrinter - Bolding Different Tha |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer is using an IBM 4019 LaserPrinter and has tried both the IBM 4019 LaserPrinter definition and the IBM QuietWriter III definition. There is a difference in bolding between the two definitions. The IBM QuietWriter III definition gives a more pronounced bold, making the characters thicker than they are when bolding with the IBM 4019 LaserPrinter definition. The customer likes the IBM QuietWriter method of bolding, and would normally use that definition but (of course) wants to access the features of the IBM 4019 LaserPrinter. The codes being sent to the printer (under Bold in the PTR program) for both definitions are identical. The customer appears to be convinced that the key to happiness is to have the IBM QuietWriter III bolding on the IBM 4019 LaserPrinter printer. Solutions: The IBM Quietwriter III is using a double strike method to do bold, because it does not have a bold font available. The IBM 4019 LaserPrinter does have a Courier 10cpi Bold font and WP is choosing that as the Automatic Font Change (AFC) for the Courier 10cpi font. To please the customer, you can retrieve the .ALL printer file into the PTR program and edit the printer driver. After retrieving the .ALL file, press Enter on the printer name. Highlight "Fonts" and delete out the Courier 10cpi Bold font. Save the file and update the .PRS file in WP (Shift-F7, S, 7). This will not be changed in the master print driver. |
