Problem

Symptoms: When a customer prints a document with the LaserMaster 1000 (1000 dpi 135) driver, the underline character does not line up on the right margin even though the document displays correctly in View Document. Solutions: The underline on all LaserMaster printer drivers use WP's Underline on Separate Pass method, using the underscore character. When the underscore characters are printed side by side, there will be a hairline gap, so the driver uses a horizontal adjustment between characters so it looks like one smooth line. There is a rounding error occurring with WP as it positions the character and calculates the line ending. The 1200 dpi printer driver does not have this problem because it uses 1/1200ths of an inch. The customer can work around the problem by eliminating the adjustment between characters, and going with a longer line character (Em dash). The steps to make these modifications are as follows:
1.      Retrieve in the .ALL file, and edit the LaserMaster 1000 printer
2.      Cursor to Attribute Methods and press Enter
3.      Cursor to Underline, press Enter, and Enter again on WP's Underline on Separate Pass
4.      Change the Underline character from 95 to 1058 and press Enter
5.      Add the following expression to the expression box for Vertical Movement: CAPHEIGHT/2
6.      Press Enter and Delete the -25 in the expression found for Adjustment between Characters
7.      Exit, save, and replace the file
8.      Update the printer in WP (Shift-F7, S, U)
