DOS Text Printer - Character Values Incorrect |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: A customer created a document with the compose characters 6,31 (.), 6,32 (.), and 6,36 (o). The customer printed the file to disk, and then printed to an HP LaserJet Series II printer from DOS. The compose characters printed wrong. The PTR program shows that the incorrect decimal value was entered for those characters for the IBM Graphics character set ([232] and [233] were entered). Those numbers are the decimal values for some Greek characters instead of the degree sign and bullet symbols. The correct values are: [248], [249], and [250]. Solutions: Customers can correct the problem following these steps: 1. Retrieve the WPDM3.ALL file into the PTR program 2. Press F4 (character maps) 3. Press Enter on IBM Graphics 4. Go to 6,31 and change it to [249], go to 6,32 and change it to [250], and go to 6,36 and change it to [248] 5. Save, replace, and then update the printer in WP (Shift F7, S, 7) |
