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

Problem

Symptoms: The customer has a program called Paradox, which uses a left offset code to align the printed text. After printing from Paradox, when he first prints from WP, the text is moved over an extra inch from the left margin. Subsequent documents print fine. Should WP reset the printer at the beginning of the print job? He is printing to an HP LaserJet Series II. Solutions: Placing the code [27]"E" at the beginning of the Initialize at Start of Print Job String in the driver corrected the customer's problem. The steps to do this are as follows: 1. Retrieve the .ALL file into the PTR Program, and select the HP printer 2. Select Initialize and Reset, and press Ctrl-Enter on Initialize at Start of Print Job to edit the expression 3. At the beginning of the string add [27]"E" 4. Exit, save, and replace, then update in WP (Shift-F7, S, U) The reason WordPerfect left this command out of the beginning initialization string is because of the demands of customers. Many customers have their own graphic file that they download to the printer for a letterhead, business logo, signature, etc. If there is data in the printer when a [27]"E" code is received, the printer will eject a page. If the [27]"E" is sent at the beginning of the print job, the graphic information will be on one page, and the page from WP would be on another.
