WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: Sometimes a Diablo printer is able to print a character on the self test, however, the same character will not print within WordPerfect. In these situations, the characters the customer is probably trying to print can only be accessed with [27]"Y", [27]"Z", [27]"a", or [27]"b". Some Xerox and Diablo printers have these characters but they are not always the same. For example, the character [27]"a" will print as the registered symbol on one wheel, whereas on another wheel it will print as a backslash (\). The customer needs the Print Wheel Data Sheet for their particular wheel to know what characters are mapped to these Escape codes. Otherwise they would have to find them by "trial and error." Once they know which Escape code accesses what character, it can be mapped for their wheel in the PTR program.
