Print Head Goes To Left Margin After Printing |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The print head on the customer's printer repositions back to the left margin after printing each word. This problem can occur on many older dot-matrix printers including but not limited to AEG, Alps, AMT, Apple, Brother, C.Itoh, Centronics, Citizen, Copal, Data General, Data Products, Digital, Epson, Facit, Fortis, Fujitsu, Genicom, HP, IBM, JDL, Juki, Mannesmann Tally, NEC, NLQ, Okidata, Olivetti, OTC, Panasonic, Printronix, Roland, Seikosha, Star, Tandy, Texas Instruments, Toshiba, and Unisys printers. Solutions: WP is trying to compress data on the line of text. WP compresses data based on the percentages for the hyphenation zone (Shift-F8, 1, 2). To prevent the compression and eliminate the problem, the customer may change the hyphenation zones from 10% and 4% to 0% and 0%. The text will not look as nice because WP will need to expand the spaces between words rather than compress them to justify the right margin. Another way to eliminate this problem is not to use right or full justification. |
