Problem

Symptoms: Customers using the Standard Printer definition (or any printer driver) in WordPerfect with a dot-matrix or daisy wheel printer often find that they cannot get a 0" top margin because WP is inserting a line feed, which is a quarter of the point size (or about 1/16"), before it prints. Solutions: This is done so that if the paper is not up to the print head, the text does not print on the platen. If the customer is sure that the paper is going to be fed in accurately, then the following may be done in the PTR Program to eliminate the problem: 1. Enter PTR, retrieve the .PRS file, and press Enter on the printer. 2. Move to Printer Commands and press Enter. 3. Move to Print Head Bias Top and press Right Arrow to move to the expression box. 4. Enter (PTSIZE/4). 5. Exit and save these changes. The customer may also be able to use a text adjustment of .17" up in the paper definition to solve the problem. The customer will need to determine the exact amount to adjust the paper.
