Problem

Symptoms: The customer is using WP 6.0a and an Epson EPL-7000 printer. When the user changes the Left/Right margins to zero (0), the margins display as .26" and .31" minimum margins. When using the Courier 10cpi font and typing continuous characters across a single line, the program allows only 79 characters per line rather than the expected 80 characters per line. Solutions: The program is working as designed based upon the minimum margins necessary for accurate and complete printing for this printer. Printer Development conducts a series of several tests for each printer. One of these tests determines the minimum margins compatible with the printer which allows the accurate and complete printing of all characters, graphics, etc. Depending upon the limitations of the printer itself (e.g., unprintable zones, etc.), there may be times such as this in which the minimum margins allowable may prevent complete use of all 80 columns.
