Setting up a printer
If you have access to different printers, you can set them up in the application so you can print to any of them, and, before printing a file, you can choose the printer you want use. Once you install one or more printers, you can configure them in a number of ways. You can also select a printer as the default printer for WordPerfect. In addition, you can change printer properties and reformat documents for the default printer.
For more information about installing a printer, refer to the Windows documentation. In addition, many printer settings are printer-specific; therefore, not all printer settings may be available for your printer. Consult your printer manual for more information.
You can also disable printer metrics. Printer metrics are used to determine line endings. If you disable printer metrics, printer fonts will not be visible in the list of fonts.
