IBM Proprinter IIIXL - Inconsistent Top Margi |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: This customer is getting an inconsistent top margin using the IBM Proprinter IIIXL. They do not have a sheet feeder selected and no strange offsets, etc. DOS printed consistent margins (once they got the paper in far enough to print on the paper). They are using single sheets of paper. This problem occurs whenever selecting margins other than the default of 1". Standard Printer was not consistent either. We found the following to be consistent: 1. From a blank screen with default margins, typing in text and printing we receive consistent and accurate margins. 2. From a blank screen, if we set a margin other than 1", type text and print, we receive consistent margins. However, the left margin is inaccurate and not what we set it for. 3. From a blank screen if we type text first and then set margins other than 1" we receive inaccurate and inconsistent margins from what we set them to. Solutions: For some reason the customer's printer was not holding page length codes. By changing the driver so that WordPerfect would force line feeds for spacing rather than form feed codes, the problem was corrected. Since this cannot be duplicated here, and the printer should work properly with the codes already being sent, no change will be made in the driver. The steps used to change the driver are as follows: 1. Enter the PTR program and retrieve the .PRS file. 2. Press Enter, move to "Initialize and Reset" and press Enter. 3. Move to "Reset/Advance at End of Page". 4. Press the right arrow key to move to the "Expression" box. 5. Delete the [12] and press Enter. 6. This will place the cursor on "Printer Auto Page Advance". Change this selection from "Yes" to "No". 7. Exit and save the file. This is a work around for a problem this customer was having with their printer. It fixed this problem in this instance. |
