WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The user has the Panasonic KX-P1524 printer. In WordPerfect 5.0, the printhead stayed in the center of the paper to allow proper paper feeding to go under the baler. In WP 5.1, the printhead goes too far left and the paper gets caught on the baler and messes up the paper. Solutions: The problem is not in the initial form feed, rather it is after the form feed. Any additional feed before printing will cause the printhead to move to the left, and that is what causes the problem. The work around is to eliminate 13 from the [13,10] code placed in the Perform Line Feed expression under Vertical Motion in the printer driver. This eliminates the carriage return from the line feed, allowing the printhead to stay centered during additional vertical adjustments. It is worth noting that this code was entered into the driver because without it some of the printers would not position horizontal text properly. If the customer experiences this problem, it is a malfunction in their printer and there is nothing that WPCorp can do; it is a trade off. The steps to modify the printer driver are as follows: 1. Enter the PTR program, retrieve the .PRS printer file, and press Enter on the printer name 2. Move to Vertical Motion and press Enter 3. Move to VMI and press Enter 4. Move to Perform Line Feed and press the Right Arrow to move to the Expression window 5. Change the code [13,10] to [10] 6. Press Enter to move to Auto Carriage Return On Line Feed? 7. Change the Yes to No 8. Exit the PTR program and save the modified printer file
