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

Problem

Symptoms: Many customers are confused about the Okidata ML 182 printer. WordPerfect supports the IBM version, and the emulation for the standard version is the Okidata 92. However, there is no easy way to determine which version the printer is. Is there a printout or any markings on the printer which indicate what version the printer is? Solutions: If the printer's ROM was installed by the factory, there will be a sticker above the port on the printer that reads "IBM Graphics Compatible." This is the easiest way to tell. However, this may not always be the case because both dealers and individuals are able to receive and swap ROMs. In these cases, both printer drivers have to be tried. This information may be helpful for situations when jobs do not print. For example, one customer using the standard version of the Okidata ML 182 found they needed to select the Okidata ML 92 driver in order for jobs to print.
