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

Problem

Symptoms: Printing graphics files from WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS takes four times longer than printing graphics from DrawPerfect or LetterPerfect. Solutions: DR is a dedicated graphics program. Its entire process is to take graphics information and rasterize it into data that the printer can understand. WP and LP must scan the file and determine what is text and what is graphics. This requires more code and more processing. LP is faster than WP because it is smaller and takes up less conventional memory. This allows less swapping of data between hard drive and/or expanded memory as well as allowing larger chunks of data to rasterize before swapping needs to occur. Also LP is limited in its graphics support making it more dedicated.
