Dot-Matrix Printers - Print Head Repositionin |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: When printing a document, the print head repositions for every letter. This problem affects most dot-matrix printers including Panasonic, Citizen, Epson, NEC, Star, Fujitsu, IBM, etc. in WordPerfect versions 5.0 and 5.1. Solutions: The customer was using an old dot-matrix printer. The older printer did not have a 12cpi font. The customer used the Word Spacing/Letter Spacing feature (at 84%) to make the 10cpi font print out similar to a 12cpi font. When the Word Spacing/Letter Spacing option is set to less then 100%, WordPerfect is forced to send a horizontal position command for every letter. On many dot-matrix printers this will greatly reduce print speed. In almost all cases, it is not necessary to use Word Spacing/Letter Spacing because most dot-matrix printers have a 12cpi font. The solution to this problem is to use the 12cpi font if the printer has it. Also, do not to use the Word Spacing/Letter Spacing feature at any setting less than 100%. |
