Amiga 1200 problems
2 messages in this thread
Dear Sysop or anyone who can help.
I have two big problems that I can't solve and they are serious. The
first problem is that any program involved with Math calculations such as a
Metric Conversion program ect. do not work. Because of this I cheked my
calculator in the Workbench and found that it dosen't work properly either. 2
x 2 = 4.0625 and 10 x 10 = 101.0054 and so on and so forth. Is a chip or some
processor faulty or something ? What can I do?
My second problem I have to explain to you because I don't even know
what to call it. When I prepare a document on any Word processor, and set my
page size to custom 8.5 x 11, It always prints out requiring 1 + 1/4 of an
other page. In other words if I want the document to fit on a full page of 8.5
X 11 I must stop my letter at aproximately 9 inch in lenght on the Program
side leger on the screen. This is happening with all programs including Paint
Programs. Even a Fax that I receive Prints out on One and one Quarter of a
page. I tried all kinds of settings in the Preffs of the Workbench and the
Programs but I'm at my witts end. Is it maybe a setting on my printer that
is not right ? I have a Star NX- 2420 printer. Can you please help ?
Thank you
Hopefully , Steve.
Without being able to go into detail (unfortunately) I have found that it seems
to be a combination of which wordprocessor (yours sounds like WP at the moment)
and the setting in it, possibly the Workbench settings and it sounds like
you're tried these already.
The problem seems to stem from what your system thinks it's sending to the
printer and the fact that the printer is set to skip page breaks, if the print
area sent is larger than the printer print area, the printer skips a margin and
prints on.
You may need to look at your printer settings. Sometimes changing fonts will
do the trick as the WYSIWYGness of the wordprocessor may not be up to scratch.
Try Topaz 11, this is a common printer font.
