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

Problem

Symptoms: The customer is using FaceLift 1.5 with WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS. After the paper starts to feed into the printer, the customer loses control of the cursor. If the customer moves the cursor after sending the print job but before the paper starts feeding, the Ready light on the printer stops blinking. The customer does not regain control of the cursor until after the print job is finished. This only happens with the 03/09/92 interim release. Solutions: The problem was with the port selection the customer was using in WP. Instead of selecting LPT1: as the port, he had typed in the device name LPT1 (Shift-F7, S, E, 2, 8). This prevented WP from regaining control of the cursor until the page ejected. Once the customer selected the preset LPT1: port option, the problem was solved.
