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

Problem

Solutions: WordPerfect allows printer commands and printer command files to be used within the application; however, WP does not guarantee that the printout will be correct following these codes. WP does not know which settings, that are caused by a printer command, have been changed on the printer.

If a user changes any settings on the printer using a printer command, it is up to the developer of the command to make sure that the font, position, resolution, etc., is set back to the settings currently used by WP. For example, if a change is made to the printer's current cursor position, it must be reset back to the original cursor position with the printer command. Likewise, if a font has been changed, it must be set back to the original font.

WP is designed to only send a code to the printer if it is needed. If WP has already sent a font code or positioning code to the printer, it will not be sent again unless WP feels that this has changed.

STRs should not be written if a customer is having a problem using a printer command or printer command file within WP. The customer should be given suggestions on solving the problem and should be referred to the printer manual.
