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

Problem

Symptoms: When running WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS from Windows 95, after printing a document to an HP LaserJet 4 Plus the form feed light would stay on after the paper is ejected from the printer. If the form feed button is pressed to eject the page from the printer, printer command characters would appear on the page. Solutions: In this particular situation, in order to keep the form feed light from turning on after the print job, the Spool Data format within Windows 95 was changed to RAW, and the port setting with WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS was changed to LPT1 (without the colon).

To change the Spool Data Format within Windows 95 click on Start|Settings|Printers. Then place the mouse pointer on the default printer and press the secondary mouse button. Click on Properties|Details|Spool Settings. In the middle of this menu the option for Spool Data Format is available to change to RAW.

To change the port setting to LPT1 (without a Colon) in WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS, press the Shift-F7, S for Select, highlight the particular printer you are using, and press 3 for Edit. Then press 2 for Port, 8 for Other, and type LPT1 (making sure the colon is not used). Press Enter until the main document screen is displayed.
