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

Problem

Symptoms: The customer is having problems with overstrike and redline on the NEC Pinwriter P5300. The overstrike starts out fine, but creeps up the line. Redline is virtually nonexistent. The user got the shadow type of redline with WordPerfect 5.0, but with WP 5.1 they get the dots. The dots print right on the bottom of the letters, and the user can't even see them. Solutions: The Redline can be changed back to the WP 5.0 method by using the following steps:
1.      Enter the PTR program, retrieve the correct printer driver file, and press Enter on the NEC Pinwriter P5300 printer name
2.      Cursor to Attribute Methods and press Enter
3.      Press Enter on Redline, and then again on the selected method (the method with the asterisk next to it)
4.      Change the character under redline from 46 to 768
5.      Exit the PTR program and save the modified printer file

This change in the driver will cause Redline to use one of the shading characters in the box draw set.
