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

Problem

Solutions: Significant increases in print speed can be obtained by increasing the Print Buffer Size option in conjunction with the Chars Per Second option on Novell NetWare Lite. The print buffer is an area in memory on the server where characters are sorted before they are printed. This should be increased to the maximum, 4096K, to obtain best performance from WordPerfect. You can do this with the following steps:
1.      Type Net and press Enter
2.      Select Supervise The Network
3.      Select Server Configuration
4.      Select a server and press Enter
5.      Select Configuration Information
6.      Increase the Future option for Print Buffer Size to 4096
7.      Press Escape to return to the main menu.

The Characters Per Second setting is an option for network printers to control how fast NetWare Lite feeds characters to the printer. If you are using a fast printer such as a laser, this should be increased. If you have a slow printer like a daisywheel, the defaults should be sufficient. You can change this with the following steps.
1.      Type Net and press Enter
2.      Select Supervise The Network
3.      Select Network Printer
4.      Select the desired printer
5.      Select Information For Network Printer
6.      Increase Characters Per Second to the desired amount
