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

Problem

Solutions: Ghost columns (sometimes referred to as Moses columns) are easy to identify since printing appears to be separated into two columns on the left and right edges of the paper with an empty column in the middle. Text that should be printed in the empty column is overprinted on top of the two printed columns. Typing this is a test at DOS or in WordPerfect will not reveal a problem since this will only occur on full lines of text. This problem is often caused by an incorrect Data Length setting on the printer. See memo P51_1308S for other items to check with this problem.
