Problem

Symptoms: The customer is using an Epson FX-85 printer. He is experiencing three specific problems. First, proportional fonts are not handled correctly when printing high quality text. Second, the right margin is not set correctly when using large print. Third, the right margin is also not set correctly when using fine print. Solutions: Development was able to duplicate the customer's problem and found that the following changes in the PTR program solved the difficulty. Please watch for the changes to be reflected in the Software Change Notices after 11/09/90.

To fix the problem with the right margin:
1.      Enter the PTR program
2.      Retrieve the .PRS file
3.      Press Enter on the correct printer
4.      Move to Initialize And Reset and press Enter
5.      Move to Initialize At Start Of Print Job and press Move To The Expression Box
6.      Move to the end of the string
7.      Add the code [27]"Q"[80] to the end of the string (This sets the right margin to a permanent 80 column right margin)
8.      Exit and Save
9.      Reselect the printer within WP

To fix the problem with the proportionally spaced fonts:
1.      Enter the PTR program
2.      Retrieve the .PRS file
3.      Press Enter on the correct printer
4.      Move to Fonts and press Enter
5.      Move to Proportional and press Enter
6.      Move to Load and select Strings, then press Enter
7.      Move to Select Font and press the Right Arrow to enter the Expression Box
8.      Move to the beginning of the string and enter [27]"x"[0] (This sets the printer to Draft so that the proportional font will work)
