MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

When using Microsoft Word for MS-DOS version 4.0, 5.0, or 5.5 and an Okidata Microline 182 printer with an IBMGRAPH.PRD or EPSONFX.PRD printer driver, all text is underlined if the printer is not correctly set to IBM Graphics or Epson mode. Consult the printer manual for the correct DIP switch settings to put the printer into either of these modes.

This problem occurs because the escape sequence used for underline mode on the Okidata (ESC, C) is the same sequence used to set page length on the IBM Graphics and Epson FX printers.

Microsoft has not tested Word for MS-DOS with the Okidata Microline 182 and therefore cannot guarantee its results.
