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

Problem

Symptoms: The customer has documents formatted for the IBM 5182 Color printer. They are unhappy with the color printing. Specifically, the customer cannot change colors to match what they want for the output. They find this problem especially with the following colors: green, orange, gray, and brown. Also, the customer is not satisfied with colorization of Line Draw lines. Solutions: The misunderstanding about this problem is caused by the fact that on page 126 of the IBM manual it states that this printer can print with eight colors. IBM only provides commands for four colors. IBM expects the software (like WP) to handle shading but at the same time claim they support eight colors. WordPerfect cannot color shade at this time.

Note: The self test from the IBM Color printer will list eight different colors but only four of them will print from WP. This is because only four of the color commands are given in the IBM printer manual.
