The following special conditions and restrictions apply to all printers.
Conditions
Graphs in a Three Column Document Meaning
A three column document with full-width graphs in each column causes errors following the graphs if they are referenced on the last line of a multi-column format region, and you switch back to a single-column format after the graphs without ending the last lines of the columns with a carriage return.
Procedure
Place a carriage return after the text in the columns.
Printing With Notes Meaning
Printing Notes is not supported.
Procedure
Use Optional Text instead. Optional Text is located in the Style menu. You can choose to print or not print text created under Optional Text. For more information on Optional Text, see the WP Plus Reference Guide.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS FOR WP PLUS PERIPHERALS
3-1
Restrictions
text below the graph or image is printed partially over the bottom portion of the graph or image.Decrease in Print Speed - Print speeds decrease when graphs, equations, or images are included in the printout.
Default Font - A change of font at print time will only change your default font. If other fonts were used in the document, they will not be changed.
Diacritics and Line Drawings - When diacritics are applied to line drawings, the results are unpredictable. Sometimes the diacritics print, at other times they do not, and some diacritics cause the line drawing font to print with dashed lines if only one diacritic is applied to the line.
Diacritics Assigned to Spaces - Diacritic attributes assigned to spaces will cause the spaces to be treated as printable characters and not as word breaks. This will have the same effect as applying a No-Break attribute to the space.
Diacritics With Word-Wrapped Paragraph - When assigning diacritics to an entire word-wrapped paragraph in 10, 12, or 15 pitch, printers treat the paragraph as one External References - Because external references cannot be partially printed, any graphic, scientific equation, or image whose reserved space extends beyond the end of the physical page will not be printed.
Font List - When installing the Peripheral software, after you IPL the VS, you must send a document to print in order to view the WP Plus font list.
Font Loading - During font loading, if you try to cancel, the messages "File not found" and "Access conflict" appear. When this occurs, try to cancel again.
Footnotes - The following restrictions exist for footnotes:
- If you change a font in any footnote's format options when printing footnotes in Continuous Spacing format, the change occurs with the footnote text, not the footnote label. Also, when printing footnotes in Continuous Spacing format, the line spacing of the first footnote is used for the entire footnote region.
- If you select Omit from the Print menu and if you select End of Page from the Footnote Utilities menu, the footnote does not print. If End of Document is selected from the Footnote Utilities menu, the footnote prints.
Graphics - If you try to cancel while graphs are printing, the messages "File not found" and "Access conflict" appear. If this occurs, try to cancel again.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS FOR WP PLUS PERIPHERALS.~
Hotprint - The following restrictions exist for hotprint:
- When you hotprint a document on the VS, no information appears in the Library
"Illegal Width" Message - No "Illegal Width" message is given if a graph or image is wider than the page. Instead, the printer prints the part of the graph or image that fits
"Job Completed" Message - No "Job Completed" messages are sent to the workstation after a Charter file is finished printing.
Line Drawing - When using line drawing in a free form area, dee tabs do not line up with periods in the format line. (Probe Number F600623)
Merge Variables Document - Graphs, equations, and images found in the merge variables document will not be printed.
Mixing Pitches - If you have text in a line drawing, it must use the same pitch as the values in proportional space printing. (Probe number: FOII473)
Proportional Space Printing - Since no proportionally-spaced fonts exist for diacritics and Line Drawing, diacritics and Line Drawing are not supported in proportional spacing. Therefore, use 10-, 12-, or 15-pitch text fonts when printing diacritics or Line Drawing.
Redlining Attributes - When printing a document using Redlining attributes, if you select print with Change Bars Only, any deleted text prints with strike thru characters;
any inserted text prints without change bars and double underscore. (Probe Number F600488)
Strike Thru - Strike Thru may not strike through the center of the character when you are using partial or full justification or proportional spacing. Instead, the strike thru characters are evenly distributed across the area to which the strike thru attribute is applied. On bidirectional printers this problem may be seen on the first character of a column or line.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS FOR WP PLUS PERIPHERALS
3-3
Strike Thru With Scientific Character Set - Strike Thru does not print through diacrit-ics and in-line fonts.
Stroke Fonts - If a stroke font used in a graphics file is not found on the system, either the characters requiring the font will not print or the entire graph will not print.
Superscript and Underline - If you have a word that has both underline and super-script styles, the underline gets raised under the supersuper-script character. (Probe Number F301480)
Underscored Numbers - Because it is difficult for the underscore to reach the furthest left number in a column when using the align key, use the space bar to position the cursor for underscoring numbers in a column.
Unsupported Printer - WP Plus documents queued to an unsupported printer will not be printed. The printer remains in operation for printing non-WP Plus requests,
however.
