Problem

Symptoms: In 5.0, on the Epson LQ-2500, his underline worked fine, but when he switched to 5.1, it no longer worked. His printer disk was dated 11/23/88, so I looked to see how underline was done, and it was WP's method with a 95 for the character instead of the current 5.0 and 5.1 method of auto underline on separate pass. When we changed his method in 5.1 to WP's underline, it worked. Why did we have to do this? He used to have a 1.6 ROM and recently upgraded to a 1.9 Rom. Shouldn't this make things better instead of worse? Are we hurting anything or missing anything by using the other method instead of the normal one?? Solutions: The question I have is, what font was he using? Was it a PS font or a fixed pitch font? This could make a difference in the printers performance. Still, the printer should be able to understand the underline code. There are no problems with our printer here, but if changing the underline method helps, then do it, it should work as well as or even better than the Auto Underline method. This may be a printer specific problem, but if you do get another call on this, please log it into the STR database.
