Problem

Symptoms: In WordPerfect 5.1, with a Diablo 630 printer and a Rutishauser sheet feeder, documents do not print correctly. The sheet feeder is using a set form length of 15 inches. The form feed command that is sent to the printer by WP advances the page 15" from the top of the current page. The sheet feeder will only accept this 15" page length. The problem is that when using 8.5" x 11" paper, the sheet feeder feeds the second sheet halfway down the page and the printer begins to print. What the customer would like is to have the correct form size selected in WP and have the driver tell the sheet feeder that it is an 8.5" x 15" page. This way the sheet feeder will acknowledge the 15" page length and feed correctly. Solutions: The customer just needs to select 8.5" x 15" as the paper size and then increase the bottom margin. This will compensate for the 15" page length needed for the sheet feeder to work correctly. The customer can then type normally and the bottom margin will cause the soft page breaks to be put in the correct position for the 11" paper used.
