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

Problem

Symptoms: When a user selects a 15cpi font on the Star NX-2420 Rainbow printer, the font prints out as a half-height font even though the selected font is not a half-height font. Solutions: This function is internal to the printer and is true of all Epson and Epson- compatable printers including, but not limited to, Epson, Panasonic, Star, Fujitsu, and Okidata. An enhancement request has been logged to add this information to the Helps and Hints screen of the applicable printers. How/Why: WordPerfect only selects the fonts with a typeface and pitch. The printer then decides how that font will print. In this case, the font prints half- height because that is how the matrix that the printer has causes it to print. The 8.5 pitch (15cpi double wide) will also print half-height.
