/AUTOFONT <ALL FILENAME> ⌐ Add 3rd⌐party font information to the .ALL
file. If the .ALL file is not specified on the command line, you will be
asked to select from a list of the printers from the .ALL files in the
directory from where PTR was run. Autofont support in PTR is currently
implemented for HP Laser printers. Only those printers will show up in
the list. If there aren't any .ALL files in the PTR.EXE directory, PTR
will prompt you for the directory containing .ALL files.

The list of fonts to install created by 3rd⌐party font programs are
usually in a file called \autofont\glue.txt. If this file is not found,
PTR will prompt for it. The glue.txt file references other files which
contain the font metric information (.TFM).

After running /autofont you will need to select the fonts from the
autofont font libraries in WP.

/SYMSET ⌐ Used with /autofont to install a specific symbol set. /symset
will bring up a menu of common symbol sets. The selected symbol set will
only be installed if the glue.txt and .TFM file contain a font that
supports that symbol set.

├├──├├┴α∞┴WPDL (WordPerfect Printer Definition Language) Codes──â

├├Characters or printer codes── can be entered in an ASCII (""), decimal
([]), hexadecimal (<>), octal ({}), or binary (::) format. Each format
is identified by delimiters which must enclose the value string. Only
values [32] through [126] can be sent in ASCII format.

├├Multi⌐byte printer strings── can be represented by separating byte values
with commas within numeric format delimiters. No commas are needed
within ASCII strings. An additional ├├ASCII text── format (delimited by
BEGINTEXT and ENDTEXT) is like the ASCII format, but allows values from
[0] to [127] in the string. Any new line in the text is sent to the
printer as [10]. Delimiters BEGINTEXT and ENDTEXT must each appear alone
on a line. The text format is useful for long command strings that
control PostScript printers.

It is more space⌐efficient (but sometimes less readable) to represent all
values in a WPDL string in the same format than it is to use a mixed
format. For example, Escape A can be stored in 3 bytes as decimal
[27,65] or hex <1B,41>, but requires 4 bytes to represent the mixed¬format [27]"A".

├├Constants── in expressions can be represented in ASCII (''), decimal,
hexadecimal (trailing⌐h), octal (trailing⌐q), or binary (trailing⌐b)
formats. Only values 32 through 126 can be represented in ASCII format.

├├┴α∞&┴Variables──â

├├Built⌐In Variables──
WordPerfect puts information into built⌐in variables for the printer
strings (WPDL expressions) to use. See below for a description of each
of the built⌐in variables. Built⌐in variables and other WPDL codes are
displayed in uppercase.

├├Global Variables──
Variables that may be accessed by the printer, font, group, map or sheet
feeder strings of more than one definition. Global variables are
accessed by ├├Alt⌐F8──. Pressing ├├Alt⌐F8── while on global variables will
switch to the next type of variables (string, integer, functions).

├├Printer and Map Variables──
Variables that are local to the current definition. ├├F9──, ├├Shift⌐F9── or ├├Alt¬F9── will bring up local string, function, or integer variables unless the
string does not allow local variables (font, group and sheet feeder
strings) in which case they bring up global variables.

├├String Variables──
WPDL expression that send codes to the printer.

├├──├├Function Variables──
WPDL expression that can send codes to the printer and return a value to
an integer variable. The value is the last expression executed.
├├──
String and Function variables may not be assigned.

├├Integer Variables──
A place where a number (double word value) is stored.

User⌐defined variables are lowercase ASCII, at least two characters long,
do not begin with a numeric digit, and contain no spaces or brackets ("",
[], <>, {}, ::).

├├General Built⌐In Variables──

├├NO──┬Φ┬Logical false. [0]╞%Φ╞

├├YES──┬ Φ┬Logical true. [1]╞%Φ╞

Set at each form change.

├├BIN──┬ Φ┬Number of the bin that is currently in use.╞%Φ╞

├├FORMTYPE──┬Φ┬Code for form type. [0=other, 1=blank, 2=bond,
3=letterhead, 4=envelope, 5=label, 6=transparency,
7=cardstock]╞%Φ╞

├├FORMLENGTH──┬Φ┬Physical length of paper side (edge not inserted). [1200ths
inch] At 6 LPI, lines/page = FORMLENGTH/200 (e.g., [27]
"&l" ASCII(FORMLENGTH/200) "P" on the HP LaserJet).╞%Φ╞

├├FORMWIDTH──┬Φ┬Physical length of paper top (edge inserted). [1200ths
inch]╞%Φ╞

├├DUPLEX──┬Φ┬Duplex type. [0=none, 1=long edge, 2=short edge]╞%Φ╞

├├Orientation Variable──
Set at each orientation change.

├├ORIENTATION──┬Φ┬Current font orientation. [0=portrait, 1=landscape,
2=reverse portrait, 3=reverse landscape] Useful in string
that selects the font (e.g., [27] "&l" IF (ORIENTATION==1)
"1" ENDIF "O" for the HP LaserJet).╞%Φ╞

┬Φ┬When Set Paper Length string is sent to printer, ORIENTATION
is set for the ├├next── page, so it may not contain the current
page's orientation. If you need the current page's
orientation when setting the paper length for the next page,
a user⌐defined variable (rather than ORIENTATION) should be
used, and that variable should be set to the value of
ORIENTATION as part of the Change Orientation string.╞%Φ╞

the printer's RGB (red⌐green⌐blue) table.

├├COLOR──┬Φ┬Current color ID. [Number from printer's RGB table]╞%Φ╞

├├RED──┬ Φ┬Current red value. [0⌐RGB max value]╞%Φ╞

├├GREEN──┬Φ┬Current green value. [0⌐RGB max value]╞%Φ╞

├├BLUE──┬
Φ┬Current blue value. [0⌐RGB max value]╞%Φ╞

├├Attribute Variable──
Set at each attribute change. Flags specifying which attributes are
currently on due to use of a driver type.

Attribute variables are not set by manual or automatic font changes, but
are set only when the printer is using a driver type to produce the
attribute. To learn about current attributes caused by font changes,
WPDL strings should test font (not attribute) variables. For example, if
a printer may use an automatic font change to print italics rather than
using the italics driver type, WPDL strings should test the value of
SLANT (not ITALICS) to determine whether italic text is being printed.

┴α∞┴├├Conditional Expressions──â
WPDL functions which control the flow of execution within expressions.
These functions are useful for specifying conditional or repeating
information in printer strings.

For example, if a printer's font deselect string turns off the bold
attribute as a side effect, this side effect could be counteracted by
conditionally turning bold back on in the same string (e.g., IF (BOLD)
[27] "G" ENDIF on the IBM Graphics printer).

├├|* Printers──

This screen displays names for all printers defined in the current file.
If no file is loaded, you can create a new file by adding names here and
defining them on subsequent screens, or you can retrieve a file from
disk. WordPerfect creates ".PRS" from definitions in a ".ALL" file.

├├──├├Copy──
If the destination file does not exist, it is created with the current
printer definition and is marked with an ALL file type. If the file
already exists, the definition is appended to the file, but any printer
definition, font libraries, character maps, PS tables, and typefaces by
the same names are overwritten by the incoming definition. Global
variables are checked to see if an identical variable exists and uses it
if it does. If a variable is found with the same name, but the
expression does not match, the name of the variable will receive a "."
followed by a "s", "i", or "f" (string, integer, function) and the index
number of the variable tacked on to the end of the name.

├├|** Printer: (printer name)──

A "standard" printer is one that uses escape sequences for printer
control. PostScript printers use text command strings (defined by Adobe
Systems Incorporated) rather than escape sequences for printer control.

├├Initialize and Reset──
Strings for initializing and resetting the printer.

├├Printer Commands──
Strings that control miscellaneous printer capabilities (changing
orientation, duplex printing, centering printhead, manual paper feeding,
setting page length).

├├Horizontal Motion── (non⌐PostScript printers only)
Methods for controlling the printhead's horizontal position.

├├Vertical Motion── (non⌐PostScript printers only)
Methods for controlling the printhead's vertical position on the page.

├├Attribute Methods── (non⌐PostScript printers only)
Methods of performing attributes such as bold, underline, etc. when there
is not an automatic font change for that attribute for the font.

├├Fonts──
In WordPerfect 5.1 .ALL files, fonts are grouped into libraries based on
the type of resource (memory, cartridge slot, etc.) they use and which
printers share the fonts or by some other classification, such as
manufacturer. In .PRS files, no font libraries are displayed, rather all
of the fonts in the .PRS file are displayed in one list in order to make
changing automatic font changes or substitute fonts easier. Fonts can
only be added or deleted in a .ALL file. PTR will create a .ALL file if
the printer in a .PRS file is copied to a new file. In order to select
the fonts in WordPerfect, the file must have a .ALL extension.

├├Forms──
List of form types available on the printer (e.g., blank, letterhead,
envelopes, cardstock).

├├Graphics──
Graphics resolutions and methods of printing graphics (raster or column
data) and rules and shaded boxes.
├├
Resources──
This category lists the font resources available on the printer for
loading and unloading fonts or groups. A resource is anything that
limits the number of fonts or groups which can be loaded at a given time
(e.g., memory for soft fonts, slots for font cartridges).

├├Miscellaneous Numbers──
This category lists restrictions the printer places on minimum margins
and the number of fonts that can be printed on each page. With this
information WP enforces the printer's margin restrictions.î
├├Helps and Hints about Printer──
Explanatory notes about the printer. These notes are displayed in WP at
printer selection time. They should explain any dip switch or other
assumptions and any idiosyncracies the printer has.

├├Miscellaneous Questions──
This category lists capabilities for printing super/subscripts, page
advances, and graphics figures.

├├Soft Font Format Type──
This category lists general printer classifications, identifying the
downloadable font format supported by this printer.

├├|*** Printer Commands──

├├Initialize Printer (download fonts, etc.)──
Commands to initialize the printer to its normal state for printing in
WordPerfect (e.g., to download initially present soft fonts, to set
emulation mode). Time consuming commands that preferably you would only
have to perform if the printer had been turned off or some other program
had been run which changes the state of the printer.

├├Initialize at Start of Print Job──
Commands that initialize printer for each job (e.g., shift into a
particular emulation, disable perforation skip).

├├Reset at End of Print Job──
Commands that restore printer to default parameters after print job.
Should not contain general reset commands that may destroy downloaded
soft fonts and overlays.

├├Initialize at Start of Page──
Commands that set conditions cleared by a form feed.

├├Reset/Advance at End of Page──
Commands that reset the printer for the next page (e.g., form feed).
Sent regardless whether or not a sheet feeder is being used.

├├Printer Auto Page Advance?──
Whether the Reset/Advance at End of Page string advances printhead to
next page (YES or NO). If NO, WP advances to the next page using the
printer's vertical motion driver.

├├Eject Page (when not using sheet feeder)──
Commands to load the next page when no sheet feeder is being used. If a
sheet feeder is being used, the expression in the sheet feeder definition
will take the place of this command.

├├Set Page Length──
Commands that set physical length of non⌐inserted edge of page. WP
stores the print⌐time page length in 1200ths of an inch in variable
FORMLENGTH. The HP LaserJet printing at 6 LPI could use [27] "&l"
ASCII(FORMLENGTH/200) "P".

├├Center Printhead (for sheet feeder)──
Commands that move printhead to center of platen.

├├Change Orientation──
For printers that can rotate any font (e.g., Mannesmann Tally MT910, HP
LaserJet 2000) commands to set the printing orientation. WP stores the
print⌐time orientation in variable ORIENTATION.

├├Manual Feed On──
Commands that turn on manual paper feeding or select the manual feed
tray.
î├├Manual Feed Off──
Commands that turn off manual paper feeding or select the default paper
tray.

├├Printhead Bias (Left)──
Distance (in 1200ths of an inch) between left edge of page and left⌐most
printhead position.

├├Printhead Bias (Top)──
Distance (in 1200ths of an inch) between top edge of page and top⌐most
printhead position.

├├|*** Horizontal Motion──

This screen lists methods (driver types) for controlling the printhead's
horizontal position. The default method for the current printer is
marked (*).

Horizontal printing ├├resolution── is set in each font's Spacing Information
screen for text printing, and in the printer's Graphics Resolution screen
for graphics printing.

├├HMI (only)──
The printer uses Horizontal Motion Indexing (HMI) and cannot microspace.
Under HMI the printer is given a horizontal motion index (character
width), after which all characters sent to the printer are printed at
that width. Text may be printed at any pitch by using the appropriate
index. In order to vary character spacing within text, the index must be
changed for each width change.

├├HMI (with microspacing)──
The printer prints characters using HMI (described above) and also
supports microspacing (described below). (Such printers were called
MSHMI printers in earlier versions of WP.)

├├Relative Horizontal Spacing (microspace)──
The printer has relative microspacing capabilities. Under relative
microspacing, every character is printed at an assigned width, but the
printhead can be moved (spaced) anywhere relative to its current
position. Graphics motion commands can usually be used to perform
relative horizontal spacing. This driver type is used if no absolute
positioning is available, and if microspacing is not slow or jumpy.

├├Absolute Horizontal Spacing (microspace)──
The printer has absolute microspacing capabilities. Under absolute
microspacing, every character is printed at an assigned width, but the
printhead can be moved (spaced) anywhere as an offset from the left edge
of the page. If it is available, this is usually the best horizontal
driver type to use.

├├|**** HMI (only)──

This screen lists printer control strings for performing horizontal
motion indexing (HMI). Under HMI the printer is given a horizontal
motion index (character width), after which all characters sent to the
printer are printed at that width. Text may be printed at any pitch by
using the appropriate index. In order to vary character spacing within
text, the index is changed for each width change.

├├Set HMI (Horizontal Motion Index)──
Commands that set the character width (index). The horizontal spacing
variable, HS, should be used for the print⌐time width. At print⌐time WP
sets HS at every width change. Diablo 630 could use [27,31] LO(HS+1).

├├Maximum Units──
Maximum HMI value the printer supports.

├├Perform Backspace──
Commands that move the printhead back (left) the width of the previously
printed character.

├├Perform Carriage Return──
Commands that move the printhead to left⌐most printing position.

├├Auto Line Feed on Carriage Return?──
Whether printer automatically performs a line feed with each carriage
return (YES or NO).

├├Set Forward Printing──
For daisy wheel printers that have no internal buffering, commands that
set printing direction left⌐to⌐right. Useful along with Set Reverse
Printing string to allow WP to print forward and backward on alternate
printhead passes.

├├Set Reverse Printing──
For daisy wheel printers that have no internal buffering, commands that
set printing direction right⌐to⌐left. Useful along with Set Forward
Printing string to allow WP to print forward and backward on alternate
printhead passes.

├├|**** HMI (with microspacing)──

This screen lists printer control strings for performing horizontal
motion indexing (HMI) for characters and relative horizontal movement
(microspacing) for spaces and width adjustments. (In earlier versions of
WP, printers with both microspace and HMI capabilities were called MSHMI
printers.)

├├Maximum Units──
Maximum HMI value the printer supports.

├├Set HMI for Each Character?──
Whether HMI value should be sent for each character sent to the printer
(YES or NO).

├├Perform Backspace──
Commands that move the printhead back (left) the width of the previously
printed character.

├├Perform Carriage Return──
Commands that move the printhead to left⌐most printing position.

├├Auto Line Feed on Carriage Return?──
Whether printer automatically performs a line feed with each carriage
return (YES or NO).

├├|**** Relative Horizontal Spacing (microspacing)──

This screen lists printer control strings for performing Relative
Horizontal Spacing (microspacing). Under relative microspacing, every
character is printed at an assigned width, but the printhead can be moved
(spaced) anywhere relative to its current position. Graphics motion
commands can usually be used to perform relative horizontal spacing. The
motion is in increments of the printer's horizontal motion units.

├├Move Forward──
Commands that move the printhead forward (right) a specified number of
microspace units. At print⌐time WP stores in variable HS the number of
units the printer should move.

├├Move Backward──
Commands that move the printhead backward (left) a specified number of
microspace units. At print⌐time WP stores in variable HS the number of
units the printer should move.

├├Maximum Units──
Maximum number of microspace units for a single relative horizontal
movement supported by the printer.

├├Perform Carriage Return──
Commands that move the printhead to left⌐most printing position.

├├Auto Line Feed on Carriage Return?──
Whether printer automatically performs a line feed with each carriage
return (YES or NO).

├├Send Attribute Byte──
For printers that require an attribute byte with each character sent,
commands specifying the attribute information. This information is found
in WPDL attribute and font variables set by WP at print⌐time. The
attribute byte may specify how hard to strike the character, how far to
move the printhead, how far to move the ribbon.

├├|**** Absolute Horizontal Spacing (microspacing)──

This screen lists printer control strings for performing absolute
horizontal microspacing. Under absolute microspacing, every character is
printed at an assigned width, but the printhead can be moved (spaced)
anywhere as an offset from the left edge of the page. The motion is in
increments of the printer's horizontal motion units.

├├Move to Horizontal Position──
Commands that move the printhead to the specified horizontal position.
At print⌐time WP stores in variable XPOS the position to which the
printer should move. The HP LaserJet+ could use [27] "*p" ASCII(XPOS)
"X".

├├|*** Vertical Motion──

This screen lists methods (driver types) for controlling the printhead's
vertical position. The default method for the current printer is marked
(*).

Vertical printing ├├resolution── is set in each font's Spacing Information
screen for text printing, and in the printer's Graphics Resolution screen
for graphics printing.

├├VMI (Vertical Motion Index)──
The printer uses Vertical Motion Indexing (VMI). Under VMI the printer
is given a line height (vertical motion index), after which each line
feed advances the printhead by that height. Text may be printed with any
number of lines per inch by using the appropriate index. The index may
be explicitly changed from line to line.

├├Relative Vertical Motion──
The printhead advances vertically relative to its current position. The
movement is in multiples of the printer's Units of Vertical Motion.

├├Absolute Vertical Motion──
The printhead advances vertically to an offset from the top edge of the
page. The position is in multiples of the printer's Units of Vertical
Motion.

├├|**** VMI (Vertical Motion Index)──

This screen lists printer control strings for performing Vertical Motion
Indexing (VMI). Under VMI the printer is given a line height (vertical
motion index), after which each line feed advances the printhead by that
height. Text may be printed with any number of lines per inch by using
the appropriate index. The index may be explicitly changed from line to
line.

├├Set VMI (Vertical Motion Index)──
Commands that set the line height (index). The vertical spacing
variable, VS, should be used for the print⌐time line height. At print¬time WP sets VS at every line height change. Diablo would use [27,30]
LO(VS+1).

├├Maximum Units──
Maximum VMI value the printer supports.

├├Perform Line Feed──
Commands that move the printhead down (by the current VMI) to the next
line.

├├Auto Carriage Return on Line Feed?──
Whether printer automatically performs a carriage return with each line
feed (YES or NO).

├├Perform Reverse Line Feed──
Commands that move the printhead up (by the current VMI) to the next
line.

├├Auto Carriage Return on Rev Line Feed?──
Whether printer automatically performs a carriage return with each
reverse line feed (YES or NO).

├├|**** Relative Vertical Motion──

This screen lists printer control strings for performing vertical motion
relative to the printhead position in multiples of the printer's Units of
Vertical Motion.

├├Maximum Units──
Maximum number of vertical units for a single relative movement supported
by the printer.

├├Move Up──
Commands that move the printhead up the page a specified distance. At
print⌐time WP stores in variable VS the number of printer units to move.
The HP LaserJet+ could use [27] "*p⌐" ASCII(VS) "Y".

├├Move Down──
Commands that move the printhead down the page a specified distance. At
print⌐time WP stores in variable VS the number of printer units to move.
The HP LaserJet+ could use [27] "*p+" ASCII(VS) "Y".

├├|**** Absolute Vertical Motion──

This screen lists printer control strings for performing vertical motion
measured from the top edge of the page. The position is a multiple of
the printer's Units of Vertical Motion.

├├Move to Vertical Position──
Commands that move the printhead to the specified vertical position. At
print⌐time WP stores in variable YPOS the position to which the printer
should move. The HP LaserJet+ could use [27] "*p" ASCII(YPOS) "Y".

├├|**** Font Libraries *──
A font library is a collection of fonts that use the same resource type
(memory, cartridge, print wheel). Often the fonts are grouped based on
the ability to share those fonts on different printers. There are two
types of libraries: libraries that may be shared by more than one
printer, and those that are local to a printer definition. In .PRS files
there are only non⌐shared libraries. To make setting automatic font
changes and substitute fonts easier, in .PRS files all of the fonts in
the printer definition are displayed in the same list, so the library
selection list is skipped. Automatic font changes and substitute fonts
may only be set up in non⌐shared libraries. Fonts may be copied from a
shared library to a non⌐shared library by marking the fonts and using the
copy or move option. Note: A shared library often has more than one
printer definition using it, so if you ├├move── the font from a shared
library to a non⌐shared library it will not be accessible by the other
printer definition.

├├Font Library Name──
When a non⌐sharable library is created without using a pattern, no
library name is entered (the name of the library will be the printer's
name in all uppercase).

├├Mark (*)──
All libraries in the .ALL file are displayed, only the libraries which
the selected printer uses are marked with the asterisk (*). Copying or
doing a text out while editing a printer will perform the operation only
on the font library that is highlighted. You can mark sharable font
libraries to copy to another file or to do a text out only if you enter
the font library screen from the top level (├├Ctrl⌐F8──).

├├Update Flag──
The update flags for sharable libraries in the .ALL files that ship with
WordPerfect are clear. The update flags for sharable libraries that
users or 3rd party programs create are automatically set.

PTR /UPDATE <FONTSADD.ALL> <NEW.ALL>

can be used to update a new .ALL file (from WordPerfect) with the
sharable libraries that the user added to the previous .ALL file.

├├|**** Fonts──

A font is a collection of characters with specific attributes in common
(e.g., orientation, character set, pitch, point size, typeface). At
least one font must be defined for each printer. Some fonts may be
members of font groups (sets of fonts that must be loaded and unloaded as
a unit). When editing a group, the fonts which belong to the group are
marked (*). Each font may require some of the printer's font resources
(e.g., memory for soft fonts, slots for font cartridges).

├├Font Name──
Any leading parenthetical expression, though displayed in WP with the
font name in the Cartridges and Fonts list, is ├├not── displayed at font
selection time. Such expressions may contain cartridge information
(e.g., (AD, Port) Courier 10pt 10pitch, (AZ, Land) Courier 10pt 10pitch).
├├──
├├|***** Font: (name)──

├├Typeface──
This category lists attributes which define the appearance of the font
characters. Each font must specify one typeface defining this
appearance.

├├Orientations──
This category lists orientations (portrait or landscape) in which the
font may be printed. Depending on the capabilities of the printer, the
font may be printed in more than one orientation.

├├Character Map──
This category lists the font's character map (list of font characters and
the control strings required to print them). Each font must specify one
character map defining the characters in the font.

├├Size and Spacing Information──
This category lists the font character primary sizes (point size,
leading), horizontal and vertical motion resolutions, and which
proportional⌐spacing table (if any) describes the character widths.
Mono⌐spaced fonts need no proportional⌐spacing table.

├├Load and Select Strings──
This category lists command strings the printer requires for loading,
unloading, selecting, and deselecting the current font.

├├Groups──
This category lists the current printer's font groups. A group is a
collection of fonts which must be loaded and unloaded as a unit (e.g.,
fonts on a cartridge, soft fonts on a diskette). If the current font is
a member of a font group, the group should be specified here.

├├Quality──
This category lists up to three printing qualities (draft, medium, high)
that may apply to the current font. The font may support one or more
printing qualities.

├├Miscellaneous Questions──
Miscellaneous information that WordPerfect needs to know in order to
handle various situations better.

├├Automatic Font Changes── (non⌐sharable fonts only)
This category lists automatic font changes (AFCs) for the current font's
printing attributes (e.g., bold, italics, large, subscript). An AFC is
the name of a font WP should use to represent a printing attribute for
the given font. For example, when WP is printing text in the current
font, an AFC could direct WP to use another font to print italicized
text. Only fonts available in the current printer definition can be used
to define each font's AFCs. When defining a printer, define all fonts
before creating AFCs for each.

├├Substitute Fonts── (non⌐sharable fonts only)îThis category lists which fonts can be used to print characters not found
in the current font. Up to nine substitute fonts can be listed in
priority of the size and appearance best matching the current font. When
defining a printer, define all fonts before creating substitute font
lists for each.

├├|****** Typefaces *──

This screen displays the names of all typefaces defined in the current
file. A typeface is the general appearance and structure of the
characters in a font. Within a printer definition, each font must
specify one typeface that describes its characters. Under the font
definition, that typeface is marked (*).

├├|******* Typeface: (name) **──

This screen displays definition categories for the typeface named at the
top of the screen. A typeface is the general appearance and structure of
characters in a font. Each printer font must specify one typeface that
describes its characters.

├├|******** Appearance/Style ***──

This screen lists attributes describing the general appearance, style, or
use of a typeface. Those attributes that apply to the current typeface
are marked (*).

├├Casual──
This typeface is appropriate in casual settings (e.g., Dom Casual).

├├Connected Letters──
The letters are connected to each other like cursive handwriting (e.g.,
Commercial Script).

├├Decorative──
The typeface is purely decorative and would probably be used sparingly
and to draw attention (e.g., typefaces designed with rainbows, stars and
stripes, vines and leaves).

├├Formal──
Typeface is appropriate in formal settings (e.g., script or novel
typefaces used for wedding invitations and restaurant menus).

├├Futuristic──
Typeface appears futuristic (e.g., like a computer display or LCD).

├├Old Style──
Typeface is old fashioned (e.g., Old English, Raphael, Uncial).

├├Script or Calligraphic──
Typeface is fashioned after characters made with hand brushed strokes.
Script typefaces generally have as few strokes as possible and are smooth
and flowing (e.g., Commercial Script), whereas calligraphic typefaces
have many strokes, often at sharp angles (e.g., Old English).

├├|******** Attributes *** ──

This screen lists printing attributes that apply to a font's typeface
characters. Those attributes that define the current typeface are marked
(*).

├├Italic or Oblique──
Characters are italicized or slanted.

├├Outline──
Each character shows the profile or outline of the letter it represents
with white (open) centers.

├├Shadow──
Characters look three dimensional because of gray or black shadows in one
or two directions.

├├Small Caps──
Lowercase letters are capitals printed smaller than uppercase capitals.

├├|******** Serifs ***──

This screen lists attributes that define serifs in a typeface. Serifs
are fine lines projecting from the main strokes of a character, usually
at the corners. Those attributes that apply to the current typeface are
marked (*).

├├Cupped──
Serifs are concave or cupped.

├├Exaggerated──
Most serifs are prominent or long.

├├Hairline──
Serifs are very thin or hairline strokes.

├├Slab──
Serifs are nearly as thick as (or thicker than) the main strokes and are
somewhat rectangular.

├├Slanted──
Serifs make an obvious angle (e.g., in characters bdlk).

├├Transitional──
The angles between main strokes and serifs are curved.

├├Triangular──
The angles between main strokes and serifs are sharp.

├├Ball──
Serifs are stubby, round, or spiral.

├├|******** Shape *** ──

This screen lists attributes describing the general shape of typeface
characters. The shape of a character is determined by its main strokes.
Those attributes that apply to the current typeface are marked (*).

├├Curved or Bowed Lines──
Diagonal lines are not straight (e.g., in the letter X).

├├Nonconnecting Enclosures──
Lines that form enclosures do not connect (e.g., in letters bdgpqBP).

├├Round──
General character shape is circular rather than oval (e.g., in letters
CDGOQ).

├├Square──
General character shape is square or geometric rather than oval (e.g., in
letters ABCDGJKO, OCR fonts).

├├|******** Stress (Line Thickness) *** ──

This screen lists attributes that describe the stress, or line thickness,
of characters in a typeface. Those attributes that apply to the current
typeface are marked (*).

├├Angular──
Slanted lines (and portions of curves) have thicker strokes than
horizontal and vertical lines.

├├Exaggerated──
The difference between thick and thin strokes within a character is
extreme (e.g., Broadway or Manhattan typefaces).

├├Uniform──
All lines have nearly the same thickness.

├├|******** Weight ***──

This screen lists attributes describing the typeface weight. Weight
describes how bold or black a typeface is. The attribute that describes
the current typeface is marked (*).

├├──Demi└└bold fonts are intended for those who want a base font that is a
little darker than normal.

├├|******** Proportions ***──

This screen lists typeface character proportions with respect to the
point size.

├├Capital Height (% of Point Size)──
Height of uppercase letters.

├├Descender Height (% of Point Size)──
Distance from the bottom of descenders (e.g., fgjpqy) to the baseline
(lowest point on most capital letters).

├├Lowercase x Height (% of Point Size)──
Height of lowercase characters not including ascenders and descenders.

├├Lowercase t Height (% of Point Size)──
Height of lowercase letter t (including ascender, excluding descender).

├├Maximum Ascender Height (% of Point Size)──
Height of tallest ascender (e.g., bdlh). An ascender is that part of a
character extending above the x height.

├├Slant Adjust (└└ % of Point Size)──
Signed amount that the top of each capital letter is moved forward from
its upright position in proportion to its point size.

├├|****** Orientations──

This screen lists printing orientations supported by WP. The class of
orientations in which the current font may be printed is marked (*).

├├Portrait──
Font prints only left⌐to⌐right across narrow direction of page.

├├Landscape──
Font prints only bottom⌐to⌐top across long direction of page.

├├Reverse Portrait──
Font prints only right⌐to⌐left (upside down) across narrow direction of
page.

├├Reverse Landscape──
Font prints only top⌐to⌐bottom across long direction of page.

├├Portrait & Landscape──
Font can print in both portrait and landscape orientations.

├├Portrait, Landscape, Reverse Portrait, & Reverse Landscape──
Font can print all four orientations.

├├|****** Character Maps *──

This screen displays all character maps defined in the current file. A
character map is a table of characters and the printer command string
mapped to each. To print a character, WP sends the printer string mapped
to it. Each printer font must specify one character map that defines the
characters it contains and the printer codes that print them. Under a
font definition that character map name is marked (*).

├├|******* Character Map: (name) **──

This screen defines the characters of a font or family of fonts. Each
character that exists in the font is assigned a control string (the
character mapping) for printing the character. No strings are given for
characters not supported by the font. Each font must specify one
character map defining its characters. Many fonts may use the same
character map.

At print⌐time, if WP needs to print a character not defined in the
current font, it searches that font's substitute font list for one that
does have the character. WordPerfect will print the characters not found
in the maps using the printer's graphics capabilities (if any).

├├Number──
The numeric character ID, comprised of two parts: the character set
number and the character number within the set (e.g., 0,126 indicates
character set 0, character 126).

The Go To key positions the cursor on a specified character. The
character specification may be a letter (ASCII character), single number
(character set number), or two numbers separated by a comma (character
set and character numbers).

├├Description──
The character name.

Words within line⌐draw character names represent to which sides of the
character cell (top, right, bottom, left) a line extends. Uppercase
words denote double lines, lowercase words denote single lines.

├├Printer Command String──
The command string required to print the character.

├├|****** Size and Spacing Information──

This screen lists information on the size of characters and spaces in the
current font. Each font character has the same width unless a
proportional⌐spacing (PS) table has been selected below.

├├Point Size (1 Point = 1/72 Inch)──
Distance between consecutive baselines of text in the current font. The
point size includes the point size and the leading.

├├Font Cell Height (Points)──
Height of font cell measured from top of capitals and ascenders (bdhkl)
to bottom of descenders (gjpqy), not including white space left above and
below characters (leading).

├├Additional Leading (Points)──
Amount of white space to add between lines of text in the current font.

├├Width Scale Factor── (PS and PostScript fonts only)
Value by which the current PS table widths should be scaled to describe
this font. Used for PS tables defined for similar fonts of differing
sizes (e.g., a font with normal and double widths).

├├Pitch (Characters per Inch)── (non⌐PS and non⌐PostScript fonts only)
Width (including white space) of current font's characters (mono⌐spaced).
Pitch is the distance the printhead moves after printing each character.

├├Font Width── (non⌐PS and PostScript fonts only)
Width (in Horizontal Spacing Units) of font's characters. For PostScript
fonts, the width is measured in PostScript units.

├├Character Cell Adjust (└└ 1200ths)──
Signed distance (in 1200ths of an inch) by which all font characters must
be shifted right to left⌐justify each within its character cell. A value
entered here is equivalent to a horizontal adjust factor entered for
every character in the font.

For fonts which include much white space in each character cell, this
value is useful to adjust all characters left so that even when mixed
with other fonts, the page's left margin is straight. (The eye wants to
see characters, not character cells, lined up on the left margin.)

├├Baseline Bias Factor (Points)──
Amount by which font characters must be lowered or raised to bottom¬justify each on the baseline. The baseline is an imaginary line drawn
through the lowest point of non⌐descending capital letters.

A positive bias indicates that the characters print above the desired
baseline and causes WP to print them lower; a negative bias indicates
that the characters print below the desired baseline and causes WP to
print them higher.

├├Amount to Slant Font (Degrees)── (PostScript fonts only)îSigned number of degrees (from ⌐90 to 90, exclusive) the font is slanted
clockwise.

├├Horizontal Spacing Units── (non⌐PostScript fonts only)
Units of horizontal motion for this font (in units per inch).

├├Vertical Spacing Units── (non⌐PostScript fonts only)
Units of vertical motion for this font (in units per inch).

├├Proportional⌐Spacing Table: (name)──
Name of PS table defining this font's character widths ("None" for fixed
pitch font). Press [Enter] to select, deselect, or edit PS table.

├├*NOTE*──
When a PS Table is assigned to the current font, the following
information from the table appears at the bottom of the screen. It
cannot be changed on this screen, but can in the PS Table definition.

├├Average Scaled Width (PS Table Units):──
Average width of characters in this font. Average width of characters in
PS table scaled by Width Scale Factor given above.

├├Average PS Table Width (PS Table Units):──
Average width of characters in PS table.

├├PS Table Units:──
For non⌐PostScript fonts, units for measuring character widths in the PS
table (in units per inch). For PostScript fonts, ⌐1. (Each PostScript
character width is a function of the font's point size.)

├├Point Size PS Table Was Created for:──
Point Size of font for which the PS Table was created.

├├|****** Proportional⌐Spacing Tables *──

This screen displays all proportional⌐spacing tables defined in the
current file. A proportional⌐spacing (PS) table is a list of characters
in a proportionally spaced font and the width of each. WP uses the PS
table information to perform right justification, tabulation,
repositioning on a second pass, and other horizontal positioning
functions. Within a printer definition, each font may (if its characters
are not all the same width) specify one PS table that defines the widths
of its characters.
├├──
├├|******* Proportional⌐Spacing Table: (name) **──

This screen defines the character widths, adjust factors, and kerning
values of a proportionally spaced (PS) font or family of fonts. Each
character defined in the PS font's character map should be assigned a
width, and optionally, an adjust factor and table of values for kerning
the character with others. This information is used by WP to calculate
proper horizontal positioning and right justification.

The arrow keys move the cursor among Width, Adjust. [Tab] moves the
cursor from Width/Adjust/Kern to Units, Point Size and Kern Table.

├├Number──
The numeric character ID, comprised of two parts: the character set
number and the character number within the set (e.g., 0,126 indicates
character set 0, character 126).

├├Description──
The character name.

├├Width──
Width of character cell in terms of PS table units, displayed at the
bottom of the screen.

├├Adjust──
Signed number of printer motion units needed to center character within
its cell width. Useful for characters which print off⌐center (e.g., on
some older daisy wheel fonts). Printer motion units are 1200ths of an
inch for PostScript definitions.
├├
Units──
Units for the PS table values (in units/inch, e.g., 300 = 300ths of an
inch).

├├Point Size──
Point Size of font for which the PS table was created. Other fonts (of
different size) may also use this PS table.

├├Kerning Table──
Multiple PS tables may share the same kerning table.

├├Tab──
Rotates cursor from Width/Adjust/Kern to Units to Point Size.

├├|******** Kerning Tables * ***──

Table of kerning values for current character. For characters that
should be kerned (horizontally adjusted to correct wide or narrow inter¬letter white space) when they follow the cursor character, the kerning
values are entered in printer motion units. Printer motion units are
1200ths of an inch for PostScript definitions.

├├|********* First Character of Kern Pair: (name) ** ****──

This screen lists characters that should be kerned (horizontally adjusted
to correct wide or narrow inter⌐letter white space) when they follow the
character named at the top of the screen.

├├Value──
Signed distance (in printer motion units) that the cursor character
should be right⌐adjusted to kern it properly after the first character
(named at the top of the screen). A negative number moves the character
left.

├├Second Character of Kern Pair──
Name of characters that may be kerned when they follow the first
character (named at the top of the screen).

├├Next kern value──
Alt⌐F3 will move the cursor to the next entry which has a value defined.

├├|****** Load and Select Strings──

This screen lists control strings that govern loading and selection of
the current font. The WPDL expressions making up the font strings may
refer to font and printing attribute variables to determine which
commands should be sent to the printer.

├├Load Font──
Commands that load this font. If no commands are given here, the font
should be specified as built⌐in (always present) or as part of a group.

├├Unload Font──
Commands that unload this font (if it is not built⌐in or part of a
group).

├├Select Font──
Commands that select this font as the active font.

├├Deselect Font──
Commands that counteract any of Select Font string's side effects that
are not counteracted by other fonts' selection strings. Many fonts do
not need a deselect string.

├├|****** Groups──

This screen displays the names of all font groups defined for the current
printer definition. Each group may require some of the printer's font
resources (e.g., memory for soft fonts, slots for font cartridges).

├├|******* Group: (name)──

This screen displays definition categories for the font group named at
the top of the screen. A group is a collection of fonts which are loaded
and unloaded as a unit (e.g., fonts on a cartridge, soft fonts on a
diskette).

├├|******** Fonts in Group──

This screen lists all the fonts in the current printer definition. Fonts
marked (*) belong to the font group named at the top of the screen. You
may press ├├Alt⌐F3── to position to the next font that is marked.

├├|******** Load/Unload Commands──

This screen lists control strings for loading and unloading the current
font group.

├├Load Group──
Commands that load the font group. May use variable GRPNUM for a unique
group ID (set by WP).

├├Unload Group──
Commands that unload the font group.

├├|******** Miscellaneous Numbers
──
├├Resource Quantity Used──
Cartridge fonts use 1 cartridge slot, memory groups may use a certain
amount of memory in kilobytes or a certain number of fonts depending on
how the resource is set up.

├├|******** Miscellaneous Questions──

├├Include in PRS file──
The Group and the fonts which belong to the group will automatically be
included when WP creates a PRS file from the ALL file. Should not set
for fonts that are not built⌐in and cannot be marked with a plus in
WordPerfect (only swappable or built⌐in fonts).

├├|****** Automatic Font Changes For (name) (non⌐sharable libraries only)──

This screen displays automatic font changes (AFCs) for the current font's
printing attributes (e.g., bold, italics, large, subscript). An AFC is
the name of a font WP should use to represent a printing attribute for
the given font. For example, when WP is printing text in the current
font, an AFC could direct WP to use another font to print italicized
text. Only fonts available in the current printer definition can be used
to define each font's AFCs.

├├Switch──
Displays cross⌐reference list of all fonts and their AFCs.

├├|******* Attribute, Character Set or Orientation──

Mark the font (*) to switch to when printing a character with the
attribute or in the character set or orientation listed in the header.

├├|****** Automatic Font Change Cross⌐Reference For (name)──
├├(non⌐sharable libraries only)──

This screen displays a cross⌐reference of automatic font changes (AFCs)
for fonts in the current printer definition. In the cross⌐reference
table, all fonts (rows) and all printing attributes (columns) are listed.
The table entry specifies whether an AFC exists for the font⌐attribute
combination, and whether that AFC is to the cross⌐referenced font named
at the top of the screen.

├├Font Names and Printing Attributes──
Each row names a font in the current printer definition. Each column
symbolizes a printing attribute for which an AFC can be specified. The
attribute symbols are defined below.

├├└└──
For the column attribute, the row font has an AFC, but not to the cross⌐
referenced font named at the top of the screen.

├├*──
For the column attribute, the row font has an AFC to the cross⌐referenced
font named at the top of the screen.

├├Enter──
Change cross⌐reference font (named at the top of the screen) to the
cursor font. In the cross⌐reference table, an asterisk (*) indicates an
AFC to this font.

├├Switch──
Displays AFCs for current font.

├├|****** Substitute Fonts──

This screen displays all fonts of the current printer definition and
gives a prioritized list of which (if any) can substitute for the current
font. A substitute font is one that WP may use to print any character
not defined in the current font. Up to nine substitute fonts can be
listed in priority of the size and appearance best matching the current
font.

├├Priority──
Valid priorities are 1 through 9, with 1 being the highest. For each
font you may type any priority, but the current priority list is
recalculated if necessary to keep all priorities consecutive. You may
type asterisk (*) for the next unused priority or if priority is
unimportant.

├├|****** Quality──

This screen displays the print qualities supported by the current font.
When defining a new font you may specify more than one quality for it if
you want it used for printing in any of those qualities, otherwise, you
may define each quality as a separate font and mark only one quality for
each.

At print⌐time, the WP user selects the print quality desired and WP sets
the WPDL built⌐in variable QUALITY to that quality (0=draft, 1=medium,
2=high). Within the printer definition the QUALITY variable may be used
to determine which control strings should be sent to the printer, but
such strings should not change the current typeface, pitch, or other font
attributes as a side⌐effect. (If they do, they specify a ├├font change──
rather than a quality change.)

For example, the Star NB24⌐15 could be defined to print in Pica for draft
quality, emphasized for medium quality, and NLQ for high quality. All
three qualities would be marked (*), and the font selection string would
test QUALITY to determine which control strings to send to the printer.

├├High Quality──
Current font useable in high⌐quality printing.

Only high⌐quality fonts can be selected in WP for printing, but if the
user desires to print in another quality, WP prints in the best⌐matching
font that does support that quality. That is, while draft fonts cannot
be user⌐selected for printing, they may be WP⌐selected to replace high
quality fonts for draft printing.

├├Medium Quality──
Current font useable in medium⌐quality printing.

├├Draft Quality──
Current font useable in draft⌐quality printing.

The primary reason for defining draft fonts is to allow fast printing, so
any slow⌐printing font (e.g., a PS font that uses graphics movement to
microspace for right justification) should not claim to support draft
quality.

├├|****** Miscellaneous Questions──

This screen lists miscellaneous font attributes. Those attributes that
apply to the current font are marked (*).

├├Scaleable──
Printer can scale this font to any point size (from one point up).

├├──├├Use Font Only for Automatic Font Changes──
Font is not intended to be selected in WP as a base font. The font
should not appear in the WP font selection list.

├├Don't Use Font for Automatic Font Changes──
Font will appear in the WP base font list and will have automatic font
changes for it, but it will not appear in any other font's automatic font
change list.

├├Diacriticals Positioned (Vertically) for Uppercase Characters──
Font diacriticals are designed to be printed with uppercase (rather than
lowercase) characters. If marked, WP moves the diacriticals down for
printing over lowercase characters. If not marked, WP moves the
diacriticals up for printing over uppercase characters.

├├Diacriticals Are Not Already Adjusted (Horizontally) in Italic Fonts──
For italic or slanted fonts, diacriticals do not take into account the
font slant (i.e., they appear where they would over non⌐slanted
characters). The slant is defined with the font's typeface information.

├├Include in PRS file──
Font will automatically be included when WP creates a PRS file from the
ALL file. The font should be a built⌐in font, or one that can be loaded
during a print job (shown as a plus (+) on the Cartridges and Font screen
in WP).

├├|*** Forms──

This screen displays the name and attributes of each form defined for the
current printer. A form describes the size and type of sheet of paper on
which the printer can print. When editing a form definition, use cursor
keys to access each area in the table.

├├Form Type──
General category describing the form (e.g., blank standard, letterhead,
envelopes). A user⌐defined form type is available.

├├Size (Top & Side)──
Physical sizes of top (inserted edge) and side.

├├Text Adjust (Top & Side)──
Amount to adjust the top or left bias. A negative top adjust will move
the text down. A negative left adjust will move the text right.

├├──├├D = Duplexing──
├├N── = No duplexing
├├L── = Long edge duplexing (side duplexing if portrait)
├├S── = Short edge duplexing (top duplexing if portrait)

├├O = Orientation──
├├ P── = Portrait
├├L── = Landscape
├├B── = Both portrait and landscape
(only the ALL OTHERS form should be marked as both)

├├I = Initially Present?──
WordPerfect will prompt the user to load the form at the start of the
print job if the form is not initially present. WordPerfect will prompt
the user to load the initially present form at the end of the job if
another form needed to be loaded in its place.

├├L = Labels──
├├N── = No labels
├├Y── = There is a label definition (also used for logical pages on a
physical page).

├├Location──
Printer location of form type (continuous feeder, manual feeder, form
bin).
├├──
├├|**** Form Types──

The form type is independent of size. A user⌐defined type is available
but its use may limit a document's ability to be ported to other
printers, so this type should be used to describe only forms that cannot
fit any standard type. The type describing the current form is marked
(*).

├├[All Others]──
Form not described by any standard or user⌐defined type.

at the beginning of a figure. The HP LaserJet could use [27] "*t"
ASCII(XRESOLUTION) "R".
├├──
├├Start Graphics──
Commands that initialize graphics printing (e.g., [27] "*r1A" on the HP
LaserJet). Sent at the beginning of a figure.

├├Start Graphics Data Transfer──

This is a list of bytes which the "Special Handling String" (under
Graphic Expressions) will be sent instead of the byte each time the byte
appears in the graphics data.

├├|**** Resolutions──

List of graphics resolutions supported by the current printer. Some
printers have no graphics capabilities. Three resolutions are used by WP
for low, medium, and high resolution graphics printing. The resolution
and motion units are required for every printer that can print graphics.
The other columns contain information useful only for column data
graphics formats such as are printed by dot matrix printers.

├├Resolution (Vert and Horz)──
The number of (vertical and horizontal) dots per inch that can be
printed. At print⌐time WP stores these values in variables XRESOLUTION
and YRESOLUTION.

Any vertical resolution may be defined that is both a multiple of the
printhead's pins per inch and a divisor of the vertical motion units.

├├Motion Units (Vert and Horz)──
Number of (vertical and horizontal) units per inch that the printhead can
move while in graphics printing mode.

├├D = Graphics Density Number── (column data format only)
ID (usually representing the printing density) which specifies the
current graphics mode being defined. At print⌐time WP places this value
in variable GRAPHDENSITY for use in graphics transfer strings.

The density may be an ASCII value that represents the horizontal
resolution. For example, on an Epson printer this value could be 75 (K)
for regular density graphics or 76 (L) for double density. In either
case the graphics transfer string could be [27] GRAPHDENSITY
LO(GRAPHCOUNT) HI(GRAPHCOUNT).

├├S = Pin Spacing Unit (Pins Per Inch)── (column data format only)
Distance between consecutive pins on the printhead in pins per inch
(e.g., 72 for Epson FX).

├├P = Number of Printhead Pins Used for Graphics── (column data format only)
Number of printhead pins used for graphics printing.

├├Data Mask── (column data format only)
Which bits are significant in each data byte. To print a column of dots,
a 24⌐pin printer may require four data bytes, each of six significant
bits and two unused bits. WP gives each unused bit the value 0, unless
the Set Unused Bits in Data Bytes flag is marked (under the Column Bitmap
Graphics, Data Format Flags screen).

This screen lists the printer's available colors. Each color is defined
by what percent of red, green, and blue make up the color. Cyan,
magenta, and yellow percentages are complements of red, green, and blue
percentages. Either set of percentages defines each color.

├├ID Code──
ID to represent each color. At print⌐time, for each color change, WP
sets the built⌐in variable COLOR to the ID given here. COLOR may be
tested in the Set Color string to determine the current color and send

movement (e.g., 32 or 'á'). Value = 256 * char_set_num + char_num.

├├Vertical Adjustment──
For adjusting vertical position of strikeout line, signed distance the
line should be moved down. Since fonts of different sizes may need
different vertical movements, this value should be a function of the font
size (e.g., PTSIZE/7). A negative value to move up, a positive value to
move down.

256 * char_set_num + char_num.

├├Vertical Movement (1200ths)──
For adjusting vertical position of strikeout line character, signed
distance the line should be moved down. Since fonts of different sizes
may need different vertical movements, this value should be a function of
the font size (e.g., PTSIZE/9). A negative value to move up, a positive
value to move down.

├├Adjustment Between Characters (1200ths)──
Signed distance strikeout character should be reprinted to the right so
that consecutive characters touch to form a continuous line. The amount
of white space between two printed strikeout characters.

├├Adjustment at Start of Strikeout (1200ths)──

the base font up. See miscellaneous questions screen.

├├|**** Underline──

This screen lists methods (driver types) for underlining when no
underline automatic font change is defined. The default method for the
current printer is marked (*).

├├Auto Underline on Same Pass──
Printer has an underline feature that automatically underlines without
changing the current font. Text and underlining are printed on one
printhead pass.

├├Auto Underline on Separate Pass──
Printer has an underline feature that automatically underlines without
changing the current font. Text is printed on one printhead pass and
underlining on another. Useful for printers that cannot underline motion
spaces (e.g., intra⌐word microspacing) on text⌐printing pass. Also
useful for adjusting vertical position of underline that would be printed
on text⌐printing pass.

├├WP's Underline on Separate Pass──
Printer has no underline feature. WP should use a character (e.g., '_')
to underline on a second printhead pass.

├├Backspace Underlining──
Printer has backspace capabilities. Backspace over each character and
print underscore.

├├Done by AFCs Only──
Printer has no underlining capabilities, or all underlining is governed
by automatic font changes.

├├Vertical Movement (1200ths)──
For adjusting vertical position of underline character, signed distance
the line should be moved down. Since fonts of different sizes may need
different vertical movements, this value should be a function of the font
size (e.g., PTSIZE/3).

├├Adjustment at Start of Underlining (1200ths)──
Signed distance underline character should be reprinted to the right so
that first character is fully underlined. About half the amount of white
space between two printed underline characters.

├├Adjustment at End of Underlining (1200ths)──

Useful to make underlining distinguishable from underline character used
within the text.

├├|*** Helps and Hints about Printer──

This screen contains explanatory notes about the current printer. These
notes are displayed in WP at printer selection time. They should explain
any idiosyncracies the printer has. While editing in this screen, bold
(F6) and underline (F8) attributes may be toggled.

├├|*** Miscellaneous Numbers──

This screen lists restrictions the printer places on minimum margins and
the number of fonts that can be printed on each page. A minimum margin
is the area in which nothing can be printed at the edge of a page.

├├Minimum Top Margin──
Distance (in inches) between top edge of paper and top⌐most printing
position.

├├Minimum Bottom Margin──
Distance (in inches) between bottom edge of paper and bottom⌐most
printing position.

├├Minimum Left Margin──
Distance (in inches) between left edge of paper and left⌐most printing
position.

├├Minimum Right Margin──
Distance (in inches) between right edge of paper and right⌐most printing
position.

├├Maximum # of Fonts/Page──
Maximum number of separate fonts (not font changes) the printer allows on
each page (e.g., 16 for the HP LaserJet).

├├Look Ahead Region For Text While Printing Graphics──
For printing graphics on a printer like the HP DeskJet which uses an
algorithm to sort the graphics and text that it receives. Need to set
question in miscellaneous questions.

├├|*** Miscellaneous Questions──

├├Calculate Super/Subscript Positions──
Allows WP to calculate vertical adjustment for super/subscript
characters. (WP takes into consideration the baseline bias of each
character in the super/subscript font.) This flag allows WP to print all
super/subscript characters so that they overlap the base font lowercase x
by 1/8 of the x⌐height.

This flag should not be marked if the printer has fixed vertical motion
units (e.g., must move 1/6 inch on every line feed). If this flag is not
marked, although the super/subscript characters may have baseline biases,
no additional vertical adjustment is made to print them.

├├Don't Set Up AFC's for Super/Subscripts──
Set if all super/subscripts are done by the auto super/subscripts
drivers.

├├Print Super/Subscripts, Advances, Graphics in Top⌐to⌐Bottom Order──
Printer cannot back up vertically. This flag directs WP to sort each
page by vertical printhead position and print the page from top to
bottom. With this flag set, each logical line containing
super/subscripts requires multiple horizontal passes to print.

├├Scan Look Ahead Region for Text While Printing Graphics──
For printers like the HP DeskJet. Need to set the look ahead region in
miscellaneous numbers.

├├Don't Print Unmapped Characters Using Graphics (Print Space)──
WordPerfect 5.1 will print characters that have no codes to send to the
printer in the character maps using the printer's graphics commands if
the printer supports graphics and this question is not set (and not
printing in draft).

├├Character Cell Centers around Print Head (Using HMI)──
Some printers (Toshiba) will spread the extra space evenly on both sides
of the character, resulting in a jagged margin using the algorithm which
assumes that all of the white space is placed after the character.

├├Portrait and Landscape Available in Each Font──
Every font on this printer can be printed in portrait and landscape
orientations.

├├──├├Four Orientations Available in Each Font──
Every font on this printer can be printed in portrait, landscape, reverse
portrait, and reverse landscape orientations.

├├Rotate Graphics in Landscape──
WordPerfect needs to rotate graphics data (the printer does not
automatically do it)

├├Manual Feed and Continuous Forms Load in Same Place──
So WordPerfect will prompt the user to load manual feed or continuous. Both manual feed and continuous cannot be loaded at the same time.

├├Long Edge Duplexing Supported / Short Edge Duplexing Supported──
These questions will automatically be set by PTR when the duplexing
questions in the forms are changed.

├├Printer Supports Auto Multiple Copies──
This should be set if the initialize printer strings are set up for the
printer to handle multiple copies based on the built⌐in WPDL variable
COPIES.

├├Use Space Width from PS Table (else 3M)──
Causes the optimal space width (usually 1/3 of the point size) to be the
width of the space character in the PS table.

├├Use Device Halftoning if Supported──
WordPerfect will send the raw gray scale data to the printer if the
current graphic image placement is supported by the printer's halftoning
capabilities.

├├|*** Soft Font Format Type──

This screen lists general printer classifications identifying various
downloadable font formats. The format describing the current printer is
marked (*).

├├──HP Series II compatible printers can print more characters and can print
each character larger than the HP Plus printers.

├├Other──
Printer does not support soft fonts, or the format is not described by
any other type listed here.

├├|* Sheet Feeders──

This screen displays names for all sheet feeders defined in the current
file. A sheet feeder is a collection of bins (form feeding devices).
The WP user may define which sheet feeders are used and on which
printers.

├├|** Sheet Feeder: (name)──

├├|*** Bins──

This screen lists all bins defined for the current sheet feeder. A bin
is a device that feeds forms into a printer.

├├Bin No.──
Unique, consecutive numeric ID for each bin defined. Begins with 1.

├├Bin Description──
Name of current sheet feeder bin.

├├|*** Printer Strings──

This screen lists printer strings for sheet feeder bin selection and page
control.

├├Select Bin──
Commands that select forms from a given bin for printing. At print⌐time,
WP stores the bin number in variable BIN.

├├Insert Form──
Commands that insert a form from the selected bin.

├├Eject Form──
Commands that eject a form from the printer.

├├|*** Helps and Hints about Sheet Feeder──

This screen contains explanatory notes about the current sheet feeder.
These notes should explain any idiosyncracies of the sheet feeder. While
editing in this screen, bold (F6) and underline (F8) attributes may be
toggled.

├├Printer Program Function Keys──

├├Cancel Key── (F1)
While editing WPDL expressions, cancels edit changes and restores former
expression.

├├Setup Key── (Shift⌐F1)
Allows you to toggle the name sorting feature. PTR automatically sorts
all name lists alphabetically before displaying them on the screen, but
since sorting names in a large .ALL file can cause noticeable pauses, you
can disable name sorting with this key.

├├Forward Search Key── (F2)
While viewing any list, searches forward through the list for the
specified string. You are prompted for the search string. Press ├├Search──
again to perform the search.

├├Backward Search Key── (Shift⌐F2)
While viewing any list, searches backward through the list for the
specified string. You are prompted for the search string. Press ├├Search──
again to perform the search.

├├Consistency Check Key── (Ctrl⌐F2)
Displays possible inconsistencies in the cursor definition that may cause
├├WordPerfect── not to print correctly. The errors are written to ├├PRS.ERR──.
├├Switch Key── (Shift⌐F3)
Toggles between Automatic Font Change list and Automatic Font Change
Cross Reference list.

Switches from local variables to global variables.

├├Go to Next Marked── (Alt⌐F3)
Moves the cursor to the next entry that is marked in the list (groups) or
the next entry which has a defined value (maps, ps tables, kern tables).

├├Character Maps Key── (F4)
At the top level, switches to the screen of character mapping tables
defined for all printers in the current file.

├├Copy Key── (Ctrl⌐F4)
Copies cursor definition (or all marked definitions) to a specified file.
You are prompted for the destination filename. A full path is allowed.
File definitions with identical names in the destination file are
replaced with the incoming definitions.

├├Definition Out or Expression In/Out Key── (Ctrl⌐F5)
While editing a WPDL expression or a "Helps and Hints" screen, retrieves
from or saves to a WordPerfect document. Retrieved text is inserted into
the expression or help screen at the cursor position. Saved text
includes the entire expression or help screen.

While viewing certain definition names (printers, sharable libraries,
typefaces, character maps, proportional⌐spacing tables, kerning tables,
or sheet feeders), dumps a text version of the cursor definition (or all
marked definitions if at the top level) to a WordPerfect document. If
the currently loaded file has only one printer definition, performing a
Definition Out of the printer definition dumps the entire file (including
group, font, map, ps table, typeface, and sheet feeder definitions).
Performing a Definition Out on a sharable library will give detailed font
information, which the Definition Out of a Printer in a file with more
than one definition does not, without giving the lengthy map, ps table
and typeface information that a Definition Out of a one printer in the
file produces. You may bring the file into WordPerfect to print the file
or to extract information. Definition Out with document compare is a
good way to see changes that were made to the ALL file.

├├Proportional⌐Spacing Tables Key── (F6)
At the top level, switches to the screen of proportional⌐spacing tables
defined for all printers in the current file.

├├Kerning Tables Key── (Alt⌐F6)

filename. A full path may be specified.

├├Retrieve Key── (Shift⌐F10)
When a file is not already loaded, loads a specified file from disk. You
are prompted for the filename. A full path may be entered.

├├Tab Key──
When viewing a multi⌐field screen, rotates you through the fields. On
some screens the arrow keys can similarly be used.

When performing a name search on a list of names, fills in the missing
portion of the current word with characters from the cursor name, up to
the next space. Used to save typing of long names for which the first
several characters are identical in many listed names. For example, to
locate HP LaserJet Series II when HP LaserJet 2000 is also listed,
instead of typing the complete name you may type "HP L├├[Tab]──S". The tab
key fills in the remaining portion of the current word.

├├New Page Key── (Ctrl⌐Enter)
When editing a WPDL expression, moves the expression into a window for
editing. Useful for seeing a two⌐dimensional view of the current
expression. Ctrl⌐Page Up takes you to editing in the full box.

printers, font libraries, sheet feeders, typefaces, character maps,
proportional⌐spacing tables, kerning tables), selects cursor definition
for next ├├Copy──├├── or ├├Text Out── operation.

When viewing a sublevel name list (e.g., fonts under a group definition,
character maps under a font definition), selects cursor definition to be
included in higher level being edited. Some sublevel lists allow many
items to be selected (e.g., many fonts for a font group), and others
allow only one item to be selected (e.g., one character map for a font).

├├Backspace (Clear Mark Key)──
When viewing a name lists, clears any mark (*) on the cursor name.

When editing a WPDL expression, deletes character to left of cursor.

├├Insert Key──
