PostScript - Sending Three Motion Commands

DocumentID: 645963

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

Problem

Symptoms: If you type three spaces at the beginning of a line, a PostScript driver treats these spaces as three individual relative moves. 67 _T is the motion code sent to the printer telling it to space. If you type three spaces, WordPerfect sends three of these codes, one for each space (i.e., 67 _T 67 _T 67 _T). If you type Axxx (where x=space and A=text), WordPerfect groups the three spaces into one motion code (i.e., 201 _T). Both methods print correctly. A customer just feels that even if three spaces are typed alone at the beginning of a line, the 201 _T code should be sent instead of three 67 _T codes. Hence, only one code would be sent instead of three codes. Solutions: Status: Sent to Development ***|sent to dev|*** Press Enter on link token.
