Problem

Solutions: Text aligned with spaces instead of tabs generally prints aligned if a Courier or monospaced font is used. If it does not, it may be because some of the characters are not included in the Courier/monospaced character map. If this is the case, the driver may be switching to a proportionally spaced substitute font to print the character. When proportionally spaced characters are inserted, the spacing for the remainder of the line is changed. The user can avoid the change by removing the substitute font in the PTR Program, or by removing the mapping for the character in the substitute font. The steps for doing this are as follows: 1. Enter the PTR Program 2. Retrieve the .PRS file, press Enter on the printer name 3. Press Enter on Fonts 4. Press Enter on the Courier or monospaced font (if using a laser driver, press Enter on the Font Library, then the font) 5. Press Enter on Substitute Font 6. Remove the priority settings 7. Exit PTR, saving the changes Or, after step 5 do the following: 6. Locate the substitute font, exit to the font list 7. Press Enter on the substitute font 8. Press Enter on Character Maps 8. Press Enter on the character map 9. Move to the character in question 10. Press Ctrl-Enter 11. Delete the codes for the character 12. Exit PTR, saving the changes *This information is given strictly as a troubleshooting option.
