Epson FX-85 Epson Mode Doesn't Support Line D |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: When the customer puts line draw boxes around his text, his documents take a long time to print. The line draw boxes are being created graphically rather than with the text characters. When he sets the graphics quality to "Do not print," the text prints fast, but even with graphics set to draft, the boxes take approx. 3 minutes to print one line. Each time document goes to print, the head keeps moving back to the left edge and then back to the place where it has to print rather than just continuously printing the line. If we set DIP switch number 4 on the printer to OFF to change to the IBM character set, and select the IBM proprinter in 5.1, it prints both text and lines fast. Can WP make a line draw font for the Epson that accesses the IBM character sets and prints the line draw as characters? Solutions: The Epson FX-85 printer does not have line draw character support in Epson mode. Most older printers which have both Epson and IBM modes will either support italics in the Epson mode or line draw and some international characters in IBM mode. That is why it must be created graphically, since it is not accessible as regular text in Epson mode. If the IBM driver works fine for the user, they could continue using it (if line draw is a necessity). Otherwise, they could use it in Epson mode and learn how to use tables. This is created graphically but prints much more quickly. |
