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

Problem

Symptoms: When printing with the Epson ActionPrinter 5000 using the 5000 driver and printing a document created with the 4000 driver that contains scalable fonts, the print speed is extremely slow. Solutions: Epson informed the customer there are two separate ways to access PS fonts. One is to use an ESC p1 and the other is to select scalable fonts. The reason the scalable fonts print slower is that the printhead makes two passes for a 12 point font. In addition, if the customer wants the same type PS print that they get with emulations for this printer, they must select the 10.5 point scalable font.

NOTE: The memo is true for the Epson LQ-570, LQ-970, LQ-1070, and LQ-1170 printers.
