Underline Troubleshooting |

WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: There are three different ways that underline can be handled from within the .PRS file. The printer's capabilities will determine the option that is selected to perform the underline. Auto Underline on Same pass - This is used if the printer has a built-in underline feature that automatically underlines and prints text on the same pass without changing the current font. Auto Underline on Separate Pass - This is used if the printer has a built-in underline feature, but you want the underline to be printed out on a separate pass. WP's Underline on Separate Pass - This would be used if the printer has no built-in underline feature. WP will send the underline code to the printer and print the underline on a separate pass from regular text. This feature can be used on printers that do have built-in underline as well. The code used for underline is a 95 (decimal). What to do if Underline is not working: 1. Check for proper codes 2. Check View Document to be sure it views underlined 3. If monitor shows underline on text screen, try a print screen 4. See if it underlines with the underscore character 5. Run printer's self test to check for underline 6. Check printer's dip switches 7. Reselect the printer--if codes in Auto Underline are not correct 8. Try a vertical graphic line (Alt 179) and see if it is a solid line--this uses all of the pins and would show a small blank space if a pin is broken F.Y.I. Some printers do not have the capability of underlining spaces Space fill printers will print a broken underline if its using WP Underline on Separate Pass Ribbons for 9-pin printers are not as thick or as high in quality as 24- pin ribbons. Using a 9-pin ribbon with a 24-pin printer can cause the pins/wires to poke through the thinner ribbon and cause the pins to break. |
