Problem

Symptoms: When a user prints tables to an Okidata ML 182+ printer, there are horizontal gaps in some of the lines, and the lines overprint horizontally in other places. Solutions: This is a hardware limitation. This printer does not have microspacing. The graphics resolution on the printer is 1/60 for draft and 1/120 for high. This means that the graphics will be printed to the nearest 1/60 or nearest 1/120. The printer is not capable of printing a full line of graphics at a time, so it prints a horizontal section, returns to the left edge, and then prints another section, returns to the left edge, and then prints the final section. The only way that the printer can be moved in the fine motion units is in graphics mode. When it is moved to the second section of graphics, it has to be moved outside of graphics mode. Since this printer has no microspacing, the closest that WP can get this is 1/10. If the end of the graphic does not end in exactly that spot, then there is a rounding error, causing the gaps and overlaps. Since the printer has no way of horizontally spacing other than space fill, it is not possible to work around this problem.
