Table Lines And Text Print on Separate Pages |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: A table prints the table lines on one page, and text on another page. This occurs most often when the table is on a landscape paper size. It Also occurs most often on Printers that use PCL4 printer language such as the HP Laserjet Series II. It happens less frequently on later printers such as the HP III, and HP 4 which use the PCL5 printer language. Error 20 and 21 on HP Laser Printers (Print Overrun or overflow error) can also occur when printing graphics in general. Use solution number 2 below as the first troubleshooting step. Solutions: This is generally a problem with running out of memory at the printer. The following are options to try to free more memory: 1. Print the table in Draft mode. Try reducing the print quality to draft. This frees up more memory at the printer allowing more information to get to the printer. 2. If you have an HP III or above, you may set the printer to page protect. This is only available if you have additional memory installed in your printer. In Windows, choose Control Panel from the Main Group then Double click on the Printers Icon. Select Setup then pick the total amount of memory available on the printer and choose Letter or Legal in the Page Protection Window. For Dos versions, this option must be set in the printer itself. Consult your printer manual for the procedures. Causes: This is generally caused by a lack of memory in the printer. Since the paper doesn't change its orientation when the paper size is changed to landscape, the text and table lines must rotate to accommodate the wider paper size. You can check this by going to Format/Layout | Page | Paper Size | Choose Letter Landscape | Edit and noting that there is no check in Wide Form, but there is a check in Rotated Font. It takes approximately 4 times more information to print a page in landscape when it has to rotate the font as it does in the normal portrait mode. When the Printer has received a buffer full of memory it begins to print even though the entire page may not have been received. This causes the table lines to print on one page, and the text to print on another. |
