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

Problem

Symptoms: The Professional Write (version 2.02) program prints a document fine before using WP. After printing a document in 5.1 and then exiting, the same PFS Write file is printing too high on the page and the line height seems to be increased. The first time it has 1" top and bottom margins on pages one and two. After being in WP, the file prints with 1/2" top margin on the first page and the second page is losing the first line of text and then prints the second line at the top of page. A third page starts at the end of page two. Solutions: WP initializes and resets the printer's top and side margin position to 0". If we do not do this the printer's default starting position will be just outside of the top and left unprintable zones (.25"). We set the margins to 0" so when we say, for example, to print a 2" it prints at 2". In the past we used to send a [27]"E" at the end of the print job, which would set the printer back to default settings, but many people were complaining of wanting to use WP's setups in their other programs, so we removed it. If Professional Write is not capable of sending a [27]"E" in their printer program, you can use the PTR program to edit his printer:

1.      Type PTR at a Dos prompt
2.      Press Shift-F10 to retrieve the .ALL file for the printer
3.      Highlight the printer and press Enter
4.      Highlight Initialize and Reset and press Enter
5.      Highlight Reset at End of Print Job and press Enter
6.      Add [27]"E" to the end of the string of codes
7.      Exit and save.

This [27]"E" was added to the 1-5-90 printer release.
