WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: When printing tables on the Roland PR-1550 printer, text is shifted to the left. We set up a table with 3 columns, 2 rows, and entered the word "test" in each cell. The position indicator showed, for example, 1.12" for the words in the left column, and View Document looked fine. When printed, all of the words shifted about .25" to the left of their original positions, thus the "t" in "test" ended up just to the left of the left borderline of each cell. Solutions: We did some tests with the latest driver (there have really been no changes) and could not recreate the problem. There is a slight difference in spacing between all the different fonts since the driver uses spaces for horizontal motion (no micro-space command) and the word spacing and motion is limited to the pitch of the current font. There are only two possible problems:
1.      If a 5.0 driver had been converted and there was some incorrect font size and spacing information.
2.      If the printer were not in DRAFT/Pgm mode (power up mode, only the top two lights on the font/pitch panel should be lit). The manual states that if the printer is not in this mode, certain software commands will be ignored and some fonts may not get set correctly.
