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

Problem

Symptoms: A customer is using the Standard Printer driver with a typewriter. WordPerfect puts a line feed at the beginning of the page that isn't in the document. He understands that his setup is not supported, but he wants to know where the code is coming from and how to get rid of it. Solutions: The WordPerfect printer driver is not placing the extra Line Feed, but rather WordPerfect is. WP assumes that the baseline of the page begins at the very top of the page. WordPerfect then sends a line feed so the printer head will move down the space of one character. However, this extra Line Feed can be eliminated. The customer needs to modify the Printhead Bias (Top) in PTR. To do this, the customer can follow these steps:
1.      Enter the PTR Program and retrieve the .PRS file for the printer you want to modify (in this case the STANDARD.PRS).
2.      Move down to Printer Commands and press Enter.
3.      Move down to Printhead Bias (Top) and press Enter.
4.      Delete the text or number that is there and then type PTSIZE/4. PTSIZE is a variable for the Point Size and you divide that by 4.
5.      Save and replace the .PRS file, and exit the PTR Program.
