MODE Command And Port Option In WordPerfect M |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: A customer could not get his printer to work within WordPerfect. It printed fine from DOS. He had a MODE command in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file which reassigned the LPT1 port to COM1. The actual entry read MODE LPT1=COM1. The port assignment in WordPerfect (Shift-F7, S to select, 3 to Edit, 2 for port) was set as LPT1: (with a colon). Because the MODE command and the port assignment did not match exactly, including the colon, the program would not recognize them as the same. The customer changed the 2 for Port and 8 for Other option to LPT1 without the colon, and the printer worked fine. If the MODE command includes a colon, the WP port assignment must include a colon (default is colon present). If there is not a colon in the MODE command, the colon on the WP port assignment must be removed. |
