Sections Of Compose Characters Don't Print |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: When the customer prints a document with many compose (.DRS) characters, WordPerfect does not print all of the graphical characters. It prints them up to a certain point, stops printing them, and then starts printing them again farther down the page. Solutions: This problem is a memory related problem. WP prints all documents in sections called bands. For example, WP accesses a section of the document, generates all of the text for that section, sends it to the printer, and then repeats this process with another section of text. All of the graphical characters in each section of text must be generated in RAM before WP sends that band to the printer. If there is not enough RAM available to generate those characters, not all of them will print. WP will begin printing the characters again in the next band. This explains why you may see a section in the middle of a page that does not print the compose characters, when they print again at the bottom of the page. To work around the problem you must free up as much RAM as possible. This can be accomplished by removing any unnecessary TSRs, deselecting a WP Keyboard, and/or removing unused soft fonts from the printer driver. Using expanded memory and loading any device drivers high will also make a big difference. See memo P51_3558S for more information. |
