The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: A five page table was taking a long time to print on an HP DeskJet 500. Solutions: This occurs because WP must scan ahead to see if graphics and text are on the same line when printing to this printer. The way the data is sent to the printer must be changed if graphics and text are on the same line.

How/Why:
The following suggestions will increase the speed when printing tables to an HP DeskJet 500:
1.      Change the graphics resolution to Draft. This will eliminate a lot of the code used to print graphics and can speed printing considerably. Print quality will not be sacrificed for tables as they are printed with straight lines. Other graphics may lose quality.
2.      Free as much conventional RAM as possible. WP does not use expanded memory for the printing process, so conventional RAM becomes very valuable.
3.      Install expanded memory. Although WP does not use expanded memory for printing, the document and other things can be swapped out to expanded memory instead of to the disk.
