IBM 4029 LaserPrinter - Underline Changes Whe |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: When the customer prints underlining to an IBM 4029 LaserPrinter and the font changes, the underline breaks and moves to fit the new font. Solutions: This is the way the printer driver was designed. There are two ways of underlining. In one the underline is sized depending on the size of the font being used. If a large font is used the underline will be thicker and the distance from the line to the bottom of the font is proportional to the size selected. The other way is to set the thickness of the line and the distance of the line to the bottom of the characters. This way the underline remains the same distance from all font sizes and remains the same thickness. The problem with this is that large fonts will have a thin line and very small fonts will have a comparatively thick line. Customers are split as to which way is better. In the IBM 4029 LaserPrinter driver following the 07/17/92 release, this option will be selectable by making the following changes: 1. Enter the PTR Program 2. Retrieve the IBM 4029 LaserPrinter driver 3. Highlight the printer name, and press Enter 4. Go to Attribute Methods, and press Enter 5. Go to Underline, and press Enter 6. Highlight Auto Underline on Separate Pass, and type an * (asterisk) 7. Exit, save, and update the printer driver in WP if the changes were made to the .ALL file (Shift-F7, S, 7) For printer drivers dated 07/17/92 or earlier do the following: 1. Enter the PTR Program 2. Retrieve the IBM 4029 LaserPrinter driver 3. Highlight the printer name, and press Enter 4. Go to Attribute Methods, and press Enter 5. Go to Underline, and press Enter 6. Highlight Auto Underline on Separate Pass, type an * (asterisk), and press Enter to edit 7. Go to Auto Underline On, and press Enter to move to the expression side 8. Type DESELECTFONT id:=11 ibmfont1 cp437 ibmundon 9. Next to Auto Underline Off type ibmundoff SELECTFONT 10. Exit, save, and update the printer driver in WP if the changes were made to the .ALL file (Shift-F7, S, 7) |
