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

Problem

Solutions: The HP LaserJet IIP printer is capable of printing four pages per minute (4 PPM). If the document consists of text only, then WordPerfect can cause the printer to print between 3 and 4 PPM. If there are graphics involved, WordPerfect can only make the printer print at 1 to 2 PPM.

In WordPerfect 4.2, the printer is capable of printing 4 PPM because there are no graphics contained in a document.

In WordPerfect 5.0, text prints at 3 to 4 PPM; graphics are much slower. Since there is no option for Multiple Copies in WP 5.0, the 4 PPM speed of the printer cannot be reached if there are any graphics (pictures, lines, equations, etc).

WordPerfect 5.1 is similar to WP 5.0 on printing speed, except there is a way to get 4 PPM. In order to get 4 PPM in WP 5.1 no matter what is on the page, you should print multiple copies of the document and set the print option U - Multiple Copies Generated by Printer. This action allows the printer to print at maximum speed once the information is loaded into memory. The first copy of the document will not print at 4 PPM, but any additional copies will. The faster printing is possible because the print job is loaded into the printer's memory during the first run.
