WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer is using the Epson LX-86 and Epson LX-80. When printing y=px, where the x is superscripted, the printers will print fine. If the phrase is bolded, the first two passes will print fine, but the second two passes (to bold the text) will print the x normally instead of superscripting it. Solutions: This problem occurs on both the 86 and 80 printer, because using WordPerfect's multiple pass overstrike, the printer forgets the text is either super or subscript on the second pass. This occurs because WP is using auto superscript, and on the bold pass WP does not send that code again. The driver was written in favor of the multiple pass overstrike, but the codes were entered for the auto bold so that it could be easily change. Development has had only one STR on this which would indicate that most people are happy with the current method of bolding. Seldom will people be using features that would show a limitation, (such as bolding while in super or subscript). The decrease in bold quality that would be caused by the change would be a bigger problem than the small number of situations that could cause a problem currently. But the following steps in the PTR can correct this problem: 1. Enter PTR and retrieve the .PRS File 2. Press Enter on the printer and move to Attribute Method 3. Move to Bold and press Enter 4. Highlight Auto Bold and type an * to mark it 5. Press Enter, and these codes should already be in the driver, if not, insert the codes in. For Bold On, enter [27]"E" and for Bold Off enter [27]"F". 6. Exit and save these changes
