Problem

Solutions: A customer, who is using an HP LaserJet IIP printer, wants the double underlines to be separated more than they currently are. The double underlines currently print too close together and look like one thick line.
The following steps may be performed to change the space between the double underline lines:
1.      Retrieve the .PRS or .ALL file into the PTR Program.
2.      Highlight the HP LaserJet IIP printer and press Enter.
3.      Press Enter on Attribute Methods.
4.      Press Enter on Double Underline.
5.      Press Enter on Twin Pass-Auto Underline.
6.      Press Enter on Vertical Movement Second Pass.
7.      Press Alt-F8 three times until you come to hpdundvm.
8.      Press Enter, then press Ctrl-Enter.
9.      Change the first line from
      if ((ptsize/26)<24)24
            else ptsize/26
      to read
      if ((ptsize/26)<24)40
            else ptsize/18
      Note: These numbers are estimates and can be altered to fit the customer's preference.
10.      Press Alt-F7 to save and replace the file. Note: If the .ALL file was modified, update the printer in WP (Shift-F7, S, U).

How/Why:
The WPDL variable PTSIZE = 50 x point size selected in WP. So if the user selects a 12pt font in WP, PTSIZE will equal 600. Based on this information, the IF statement says if the point size is less than 12.5, WP will position the next line 24/1200ths of an inch. If the point size is greater than 12.5pt, then the vertical offset will be (PTSIZE/26)/1200ths. So, if the point size selected in WP is 14pt, the vertical offset will be (700/26/1200ths). Note that the HP LaserJet printers move in 1/300ths of an inch, so the user will need to increase the offset 4/1200ths to force the printer to move an additional 1/300ths. The values in the printer driver may be adjusted as needed based on this information.
