Printing Graphically Created Characters-Slow |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: When printing documents with several characters that need to be graphically created, printing is very slow over a network. However, printing is very fast when WordPerfect is run locally. Solutions: To print graphically created characters, WordPerfect needs to read the entire WP.DRS file (a 500K file) for each character that it creates. This makes printing very slow. One solution is to have the WP.DRS file located on the local hard drive. This can be done by copying all .PRS files to a directory on the local hard drive along with the .DRS file. Then, specify that location in Setup (Shift-F1), Location of Auxiliary Files (6), and Printer Files (4). This will speed up printing graphically created characters. However, this may not be a solution for many customers. In that case, the user needs to understand that WP is providing the capability to print special characters that their printer cannot physically perform. To print in this fashion, the customer will need to realize that printing speed is going to be affected. If they have no desire to print graphically created characters, and they have no graphics in their document, then the user can set the Graphics Print Quality to Do Not Print. |
