Mannesmann Tally MT180 Won't Print Graphics A |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: When the customer uses superscript the number is up at least a full line. When subscript is used the number subscripted is superimposed on the last letter of the last word. An enhancement request is also being filed because graphics are not supported in 5.1 and it won't allow the customer to used tables. Solutions: The printer is only capable of moving vertically in amounts of 1/6" or 1/8". There is no concept of half-lines, or moving in 1/216" like most modern printers. (Apparently this printer was first manufactured around 1980!) So, if WP tries to move up or down to print a super/sub script, it has to move in one-line increments. You would probably see the same type of thing on Standard Printer. Basically, this is a limitation of the printer, and there's not a thing we can about it. As far as graphics goes, the printer is capable of printing graphics, but only at 8lpi. There is no way that we can support both text and graphics together on a page. We called the appropriate person at Mannesmann Tally, and he agreed that trying to mix graphics and text would just result in a mess. The printer driver writer also said that, although it is technically possible to allow customers to print a graphic on a page with NO text whatsoever, he won't add this capability to the driver because if they can print graphics at all, there is no way to keep them from trying to mix text and graphics together. That would generate more confusion than just disabling graphics altogether. |
