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

Problem

Solutions: Both the printer and the software program must be set to send and receive data in the PostScript language in order to print properly. If a PostScript driver is selected in WP and the printer is a laser printer or a PostScript printer in laser mode, the prologue (part of printer code) will be sent to the printer and printed as a 3 or 4 page text file that begins something like this:

!PS- Adobe
/wpdict 120 dict def
wpdict begin
etc. etc.

Use the menu (like on the NEC LC-890) or dip switches (like on the Apple LaserWriter) to set the printer to PostScript batch mode. After changing the menu or dip switches, the printer will no longer print the prologue code.

To use the PostScript printer in laser mode, the proper laser driver should be selected in WP and the printer should be set to laser mode.
