Problem

Solutions: When a printer has true Type Through capability, the print head will move as the characters, spaces, tabs, etc., are keyed. If Type Through by line is the method used, the print head will move without printing until the carriage return is activated. Then it will print. If Type Through is by character, then the characters will be printed as the keys are activated.

Most dot matrix printers do not have true Type Through. That is, the print head remains stationary until the carriage is returned, and then it will print. In fact, if you chose either Type Through by character or by line, a printer which does not have the capability responds the same way; it waits for a carriage return signal before it will do anything. Again, this is not true Type Through. WPCorp will send a utility (TYPETHRU.EXE) to the customer if the customer requests it.
