Problem

Symptoms: The user is getting strange results when using line draw in landscape on the Toshiba Pagelaser12 (HP Emulation) printer. The 6-22-90 printer driver had the line draw font added to the font list. In the previous print drivers, line draw was printing fine. Now, line draw works fine in portrait mode, but in the landscape orientation it put the lines wherever it wants to. Solutions: This problem has to do with the ROM of the printer. (This is also a problem in WP 5.0. Memo ID# WP50_7429) Toshiba fixed the problem in portrait, but did not work on the problem in landscape. At this point it is a limitation of their printer. With previous print drivers in WP 5.1, this problem appeared to be fixed because WP was graphically creating the line draw characters. If the customer does not have a problem with the slow print speed, you can modify the .ALL file through the PTR program to have the characters printed graphically. 1. Enter the PTR program, retrieve the .ALL file, and press Enter on the printer name. 2. Highlight Fonts and press Enter. 3. Highlight the Built-In Fonts. 4. Delete the Line Draw font. 5. Exit the program and save the .ALL file. Enter WP and press Shift-F7, S (Select Printer), #7 (Update).
