WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: WP won't prompt for a daisy wheel change on a IBM Correcting Wheelwriter. The customer marks fonts with a + and inserts font changes into 5 different paragraphs. For the first three paragraphs the user is prompted to change the wheel and press G to continue. On paragraphs 4 and 5, there is no prompt. In paragraph 4, the printing continues but squeezes the print together so it appears to be 10 pitch. Solutions: Do the following in PTR to correct the problem: 1. Type PTR at the proper DOS prompt and retrieve the *.ALL file. 2. Press Enter on the Printer Name. 3. Go to Resource and press Enter. 4. Change the Yes/No question for the printer from No to Yes for Intervention required. 5. Press F7 to exit and save the file. Reselect the printer in WordPerfect. We will make the change in the next WP 5.1 printer master. Please watch your Software Change Notices. You may also want to check the Quantity option under Cartridges and Fonts. If it is set to something other than 1 the same problem may occur. Also, rather than going into the PTR Program you can go into the Cartridges And Fonts Option in the Select Printer:Edit menu, select Print Wheels, Mark the Print Wheel that will be used most often with a *+, and mark any others with a +. This will eliminate the problem of having to go into Control Printer and press G twice to continue printing.
