Problem

Symptoms: In PRHELP, it says that bold is not supported on this printer, yet the customer says he has been able to get bold on all other programs he has used the Silver-Reed EXP 500 printer with. The customer says the manual does not have escape sequences listed for bold, but that he assumes in the other programs the bold feature was achieved by backspacing and overstriking. Solutions: If the customer wants he can do the following:

1.      Type PTR at the proper DOS prompt and retrieve the *.PRS file.
2.      Press Enter on the Printer Name.
3.      Go to Attribute Methods and press Enter.
4.      Go to Bold and press Enter.
5.      Put an asterisk next to WP's on Second Pass and press Enter.
6.      Change the Horizontal Offsets to 3 and it will work. The reason it doesn't bold now is because we combined this driver with the 800 driver which has an auto bold code. The method of bolding in the shipping driver. Please watch Software Change Notices.
