DocumentID: 634425

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

Problem

Symptoms: The customer created a document that contains headers defined with outlined text. When the document is printed on the HP LaserJet IIID as a duplexed document, some of the pages with the outlined text in the headers is missing. On other pages, the headers drop down on the page. If the document is not duplexed, everything prints correctly. Solutions: The HP LaserJet III/IIID printers have the ability to switch to a plotter mode, known as HPGL. WordPerfect uses this mode to print Outlined text. So not only do you need to set the page length in normal PCL mode, but you must also set the page image for the HPGL mode. The problem lies with the page image that is set aside for the HP plotter page frame. WordPerfect uses the maximum size necessary (about 13.7"). When printing the outlined text, HP uses the page image from WP to position the text. When duplexing the document, the program measures down using the top of the page image on the odd pages, and the bottom of the page image on the reverse side. Since HP believes that the image is 13.7", HP calculates how far it needs to move up to print at the top of the even page. To correct the problem, the page image needs to be the size of the paper used to print outline text in duplex. To correct the problem you can follow these steps:
1.      Enter the PTR program and retrieve the .ALL file. (If the customer is using a printer driver with a release date older than 01/25/91, skip to step 3. If the customer has the 01/25/91 release or later, proceed with step 2).
2.      Press Alt-F8 (Global String Variables) and cursor to "hp3frame" and press Enter to Edit. Skip to Step 6.
3.      Highlight the HP LaserJet IIID printer and press Enter
4.      Cursor to Initialize and Reset and press Enter
5.      Cursor to Set Page Length and press Enter to edit
6.      Press Ctrl-PgUp to obtain the full editing screen
7.      Cursor to the command [27]"*ct9840Y" and change it to [27]"*ct"ASCII(FORMLENGTH/1200*720)"Y"
8.      Exit the PTR program and save the modified .ALL file
9.      Update the .PRS file in WordPerfect by pressing Print (Shift-F7), S (Select Printer), Update (7).
