SUMMARY

When printing landscape orientation from the Works for Windows Word Processor to a dot matrix printer, the left or right border may not print. This problem occurs because of the way dot matrix printers use graphics bands to print.

To work around this limitation, adjust the margins to a lesser value. An adjustment of as little as 1/16 of an inch will often suffice.

MORE INFORMATION

Dot matrix graphic bands span the full height of the page and progress sideways. Sometimes these bands do not intersect the page body, which can cause a border to not print. This problem only occurs on dot matrix printers.
