Okidata ML 182+ - Minimum Right Margin Is .6"
DocumentID: 627498

The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The minimum right margin is different for the Okidata ML 182+ printer in WP 6.0 than in WP 5.1. The user created a document in WP 5.1 with the Okidata ML 182+ printer driver selected, and the right margin set to 0". When the user imported the document into WP 6.0, the right margin changed to .6" even though the same printer driver was selected in WP 6.0. Solutions: This is actually a hardware issue, and the minimum margin was changed in WP 6.0 because of a problem with the printer. When this printer is in MicroLine (ML) mode, the horizontal motion of the printer is inaccurate when printing graphics, tables, bold, underline, superscript, subscript, and other attributes if the left margin is set less than .25" (see Folio memo 10471W in the PRINT infobase for additional information).

This problem was not addressed in WP 5.1, but was addressed in WP 6.0. Because of the printer limitation, Development changed the minimum right margin for this printer driver to .6" to avoid the horizontal motion problem.

Users wanting the 0" minimum right margin need to change the printer to IBM mode and select the Okidata ML 182+ (IBM) printer driver.
