Problem

Symptoms: A problem arises when the customer is trying to use 80th column on the page, specifically ending boxes in that column on an HP LaserJet Series II. When she prints from WP 5.1, she gets unusual results on some lines. If she takes the file out as a DOS file and prints, it prints fine. Are the minimum margins (unprintable zone) more restrictive in WP 5.1 (i.e. L/R as .22,.31) than in WP 5.0 (L/R as .2,.3). Solutions: Because WP knows about the right and left unprintable margins, and those in reality translate into minimum margins, WP crunches the line just enough to fit 80 characters at 10 cpi. The tradeoff if we changed the driver to fix this problem would be that 1" margins would not be as accurate as they are now. However, if you would like to change the driver you can do the following:

1.      Type PTR at the proper DOS prompt and retrieve the *.PRS file.
2.      Press Enter on the Printer Name.
3.      Go to Miscellaneous Numbers and change the left and right minimum margins to .2 and .3.
4.      Press F7 to save and exit the file.
