Roland PR-1215 Problem With Line Feed |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: There is a software program that comes with the customer's printer called LF that asks if his printer needs an additional line feed and he answers no. If the program is loaded it prints fine at DOS and in other programs but WP will give him a double line feed. If he does not load the LF program it will not print at DOS or other programs and WP gives him a 1.5 line feed. He says that it worked fine in WP 4.2 but did not work in 5.0 and will not work in 5.1. He has tried all the suggested emulations including Standard. Solutions: We have no problem here on our IBM system and using its counterpart the Panasonic 1592 printer (we don't have the Roland PR-1215 in house). If he wants to run his LF program we can only offer him one choice: 1. Type PTR at a DOS prompt 2. Press Shift-F10 and retrieve the .PRS or .ALL file 3. Highlight the printer and press Enter 4. Highlight Horizontal Motion and press Enter twice 5. On Auto Line Feed on Carriage Return? answer YES 6. Exit and Save (If the .ALL file was used, update the printer Make sure he is aware that with the printer's automatic line feed ON it becomes more difficult to control the printing process correctly. If he was still getting 1.5 line spacing with Standard printer, when his LF program was disabled, and you had turned the printer On and OFF, then it is my guess that either his switch settings are set incorrectly or his computer is still handling the line feed. Check this first before making any alterations to his printer file. |
