Problem

Symptoms: Using either the Texas Instrument 865 or (Additional) printer drivers, the customer has the following problems: On a centered line the text only prints in 1" from the left margin. The next line is flush left and prints in 3/4" from the left margin. Also, on lines that are indented they print clear to the left of the paper outside of the left margin. Solutions: Our developer could not duplicate the problem on his TI printer. We think the difference may be in the ROM revisions of the printers. One solution would be to go into PTR and do the following: 1. Type PTR at the proper DOS prompt and retrieve the *.PRS file. 2. Press Enter on the Printer Name. 3. Go to Vertical Motion and press Enter. 4. Go to VMI and press Enter. 5. Add the REPOSITION command at the end of the Perform Line Feed string. It should then read [10]REPOSITION. This will tell the printer to move its printhead to a correct position after every line feed. If this does not work, then please have the customer send a document file, a print-to-disk file, and his .PRS and .SET files.
