Graphics Lines Take Longer To Print With HP L |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: Tables, borders, and graphics lines take longer to print with the HP LaserJet 4 driver than with the HP LaserJet Series II driver. Solutions: Printing takes longer because the HP LaserJet 4 printer driver sends more data for graphics lines than the HP LaserJet Series II driver. The HP LaserJet Series II and other PCL4 printer drivers only tell the printer the length, shade, and thickness of lines. The HP LaserJet 4 and other HP PCL5 printer drivers (e.g., HP LaserJet III) are more powerful and include a code with each graphics line that sets transparency, color, and pattern. This code increases the size of each graphics line by 26 bytes. Additionally, graphics in the HP LaserJet 4 printer driver are moved in 600 units, while text is moved in 300 units. Before a graphics line is printed, the driver must switch to 600 units, and then switch back to 300 units for text. The HP LaserJet 4 driver produces 40 more bytes of information than the HP LaserJet Series II driver to print one graphics line. This particular customer was printing a document that contained a table full of graphics lines. Using the HP LaserJet 4 driver resulted in 24K to 81K of information for one page. |
