Printing - "Disk Full" When A: Is Temporary

DocumentID: 651460
Revision Date: 29-Feb-96 8:29:07 PM

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

Problem

Symptoms: The error message "disk full -- press any key to continue" appears after pressing Shift F7 while in list files of the A: drive. The disk in the A: drive has zero bytes available. Solutions: If the default directory was A:, and the /PF startup option was used to direct temporary files to C:, the floppy drive was being accessed even when printing a short document. Under these conditions, WordPerfect will no longer access the floppy to print. NOTE: If the default directory is set to c:\WP51 and if the user just goes into List Files of A: (without changing the default directory), the user may still experience the "Disk Full..." error. This is because A: is the temporary default directory. In this case, the user should use the /PF startup option.
