Overprinting Text, Wrong Font Printing When U |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: Text formatted with soft fonts prints scrunched together (no spaces between letters and words) or prints in the wrong font. Solutions: Customers can try initializing the printer (for WP 5.1, press Shift-F7, 7; for WP 6.0, press Shift+F7, 8). This has corrected the spacing problem for many users. If the customer marked cartridges or soft fonts incorrectly, marking the correct cartridge or soft font will solve the problem in these cases. Although many cartridges and soft fonts have the same name, they do not all use the same spacing. If the fonts are marked incorrectly, WP will use the spacing for the font that is marked. Since this spacing varies between fonts, the fonts will print with incorrect spacing. Also, make sure the correct printer driver is selected in WP. In one case, soft fonts printed in the wrong typeface (one of the built-in fonts) when a user printed landscape to an HP LaserJet Series II printer. This problem occurred because the user had selected the HP LaserJet IID printer driver in WP. Selecting the correct printer driver and installing the fonts for this driver corrected the problem. How/Why: The HP LaserJet IID and HP LaserJet IIP printer are able to rotate portrait fonts and the HP LaserJet Series II printer is not. With an HP LaserJet IID printer driver selected, WP will send only portrait fonts to the printer and expects the printer to be able to rotate the font as needed. Thus, if the printer is actually an HP LaserJet Series II, it is unable to rotate the font and will print with one of the built-in landscape fonts instead. |
