IBM 4070 IJ - Printer Driver Only Has Courier |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: A user has an IBM 4070 IJ printer. The WordPerfect printer driver only offers Courier and Prestige fonts. On the front panel of the printer there are buttons for Roman, San Serif, Script, Orator and Orator PS in addition to the Courier and Prestige. Solutions: The Roman, San Serif, Script, Orator and Orator PS fonts are available only when the printer is in Epson LQ-510 emulation mode. The printer driver was written for the IBM emulation mode (which is the default) which offers only the Courier and Prestige fonts. Users who would like a driver for this printer when in the Epson emulation mode should enter an enhancement request. The workaround is to have the customer select the Epson LQ-510 printer driver and put the printer into Epson emulation mode. In order to get access to all of the fonts the customer will need to do the following: 1. Retrieve the WPDM1.ALL file into the PTR Program. 2. Highlight the Epson LQ-510 and press Enter. 3. Highlight Font and press Enter. 4. Mark the appropriate font libraries (Epson LQ Courier, Epson LQ Courier 2, Epson LQ Orator, Epson LQ Orator-S, Epson LQ Prestige, Epson LQ Prestige 2, Epson LQ Script, and Epson LQ Script 2) in addition to the ones already marked. This will give the user access to all available fonts on the printer. The user will then need to go into WordPerfect and update the Epson LQ-510 driver. Note: It would be a good idea to rename the printer while in the PTR Program to avoid confusion. Another workaround to this problem is to select the Epson LQ-510 printer driver in WP and select the #7407 Multi-Font Cartridge (Shift-F7, S, 3, 4). Customers who use this workaround should be aware that the OCR-A and OCR-B fonts listed on the Multi-Font cartridge are not available on the IBM 4070 IJ and will not print. Although this workaround is easier for customers, the workaround mentioned previously in this memo is recommended because it does not list fonts in WP that are not available on the printer. |
