Labels With Odd Size Print With Creeping Marg |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: When users print on odd-size labels, the top margins creep up. Solutions: This problem may occur if the exact label measurement extends to the thousandth place (e.g., 6.5" x 4.377" or 4.125"). Many dot-matrix and daisy wheel printers can only set page lengths in increments of 1/6th of an inch (.167). When some other page length fraction is defined, WP must round it to a fraction the printer will accept. This is a printer limitation that cannot be corrected by WP. For example, if the exact measurement of the labels is 6.5" X 4.377" WP will round up to two digits because it cannot use the thousandths place. If you use 4.37", the label moves down on following labels, if you use 4.38" the label moves up just a little. The 4.38" is the best choice, or getting labels that are not such an odd size. For further information, please see memo 39138K in the PRINT51 infobase. The following steps may be used in the PTR Program to help customers work around this situation. However, this workaround may cause other vertical movement problems, and customers should be made aware of this. (It is a good idea to make a backup copy of the user's .PRS file.) 1. Enter PTR, retrieve the .PRS file, and press Enter on Printer. 2. Move to Initialize and Reset and press Enter. 3. Move to Reset/Advance at End of Page. 4. Remove the [12] from the Expression box, and press Enter. 5. For Printer Auto Page Advance, change this from Yes to No. 6. Exit the PTR program and save the modified .PRS file. NOTE: If other problems occur, the only option is to set the specifications back to the original settings. In reality, this is a printer limitation that is being worked around. |
