Diablo 620 - Bold Not Printing Every Time |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer is using the Diablo 620 printer. The printer will not print bold all the time. The customer made the changes outlined in memo P51_646, but the problem still persisted. Solutions: The finest horizontal movement that this printer can perform is 120th of a inch. The horizontal offset was set to 3/12000ths, and WordPerfect had to round the offset down to even 120ths of an inch. Sometimes the offset would round to zero and the overstrike would print in the same place with no offset, so the printout would not look very bold. By making the changes outlined below, it is possible to guarantee that WordPerfect will round the right way: 1. Enter the PTR Program, retrieve the *.PRS file, and press Enter on the Diablo 620 printer 2. Press Enter on Attribute Methods 3. Press Enter on Bold 4. Cursor to Multiple Pass Overstrike 5. Type in an asterisk (*) and press Enter 6. Edit the table to look like the following: ================================================================= | Function | Expression | |--------------------------------------------------+------------| | Number of Passes | 3 | | Initial Horizontal Offset Bold Passes (1200ths) | 5 | | Additional Horizontal Offset Each Pass (1200ths) | 5 | | | | |===============================================================| | | ================================================================= 7. Exit out of the PTR Program and save the modified .PRS file Note: No change will be made to the driver because this is a fix for a problem that only occurs with early ROM versions of the printer. WPCorp does not support these early ROM versions. |
