Works: Erratic Print Head Movement, Printer Shakes

= SUMMARY =

When printing in the NLQ font on some printers, such as the Epson LX-80, Works prints one word at a time. The printer then backs up to print the word again on the second pass, which may cause the printer to shake.

When printing, Works sends an absolute positioning command to horizontally position each word, one word at a time, on a line. This feature provides highly accurate alignment of text; however, some printers and printer stands may not be sturdy enough to prevent shaking.

Select draft quality in the Print Print dialog box to allow Works to use spaces rather than commands to position the words. Then, the printer will print one line at a time. This setting does NOT affect near-letter quality printing.
