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

Problem

Symptoms: The customer is printing with the Panasonic KX-P1180. The printer jerks back and forth when printing. When Standard Printer is selected this particular document prints fine; it also prints fine when saving the documents as DOS text. Solutions: This problem could not be duplicated. However, once the customer adjusted the hyphenation zones to 0 and 0, the problem was eliminated. This document had been created with a printer definition which allowed WordPerfect to put more text on the line than the printer could handle. The customer then saved the document with another printer driver that only allowed a half inch or more right margin; thus, the text had to be condensed yet into a smaller area. The printer was not logic seeking correctly, and so it had to return to the left margin between each word. Basically, this was a hardware problem compounded by the fact that the document was being condensed in WP. There is nothing that can be changed to accommodate this since the printer should handle the situation. Other customers corrected the problem by having Panasonic update the printer's ROM, and/or using the WP user contributed printer disk for the Panasonic KX-P1180 (c-rom). *This information is given as a troubleshooting option.
