NEC Pinwriter P7 - Text Overprinting Itself

DocumentID: 646018
Revision Date: 29-Feb-96 8:19:10 PM

The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: When printing with a Left Margin setting of 0" with a Left Text Adjustment of .75" on the NEC Pinwriter P7 printer, tabs within the first inch of text on a line will cause words to print over each other. Solutions: This occurs because WordPerfect is sending a horizontal positioning code at the point where the Tab code is encountered. The horizontal spacing code is only sent when WP encounters a space, tab, or something that causes the program to make a horizontal motion. If a horizontal motion code is not found, the printer will take care of the spacing. The reason the customer is experiencing this problem is that WP thinks that everything in the text adjusted region is in an unprintable zone. With the Left Margin set to zero, the Left Text Adjustment is then trying to send the printer .75" to the left of the zero margin. The customer should not set a margin smaller than the text adjustment.
