WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: To use the Modern PS wheel on the Silver-Reed EXP 550, the user had to select Courier 10 and set the dip switches as follows: 1-4 off, 5 on. To use the Courier 10 font, the user had to select Modern PS and set the dip switches as follows: 1,2,5 off 3,4 on. The conflict with the dip switch settings is a problem. Solutions: This problem was tested in-house with the 01/05/90 printer driver and the 01/19/90 program date. If the user leaves all the dip switches off, the PS wheel will work fine. The user will need to go into the PTR program and change the bolding to multiple pass overstrike:
1.      Type PTR at a DOS prompt
2.      Press Shift-F10 to retrieve the .ALL file, or .PRS file
3.      Highlight the printer and press Enter
4.      Highlight Attribute Methods and press Enter
5.      Highlight Bold and press Enter
6.      Highlight Multiple Pass Overstrike and press asterisk (*)
7.      Exit and save the modified file
8.      Update the .PRS printer file in WP if the .ALL file was modified. Press Shift-F7 (Print), S (Select Printer), 7 (Update)

Don't forget: the dip switch settings should all be off.
