Advanced Functions This section deals with the most advanced functions in the WP application. These functions enable you to improve the overall quality of your documents further and eliminate most of the mechanical tasks. Double Column printing prints a document in two columns. The dual screen function allows you to work on two different documents at the same time. The layout function for the WP-335B model displays one full page of text at a time (where the WP-230B model displays six pages of text at a time) in a smaller form so that you can have an idea of the general look of your document. You can also use this function to display an entire frame on screen. The merge function prints many copies of a document, each copy with individual changes such as names and addresses. Double Column Printing This function allows you to print your text in magazine style, with two columns across the page. A page on the screen prints as a column on paper. In other words, two pages print on a single sheet of paper, the first page as the left column and the second page as the right column. When formatting your document for double column printing, reduce the distance between margins so that both columns and the space between columns can fit on the paper. The margins for the document should be set for one column. Use 12 or 15 pitch in order to fit more text on a line. NOTES: • Double column printing does not work with merge printing. Merge symbols as well as stop symbols are ignored during double column printing and replaced with blank spaces. • For proper column alignment, the document must not contain any margin, pitch, or line-spacing changes. It may, however, contain any number of keyboard and tab changes. 1. Proceed as you would to print a text file in standard format. 2. When the print menu screen appears, select YES for DOUBLE COLUMNS. If necessary, enter the SPACE BET(ween) COLUMNS (the default is five blank spaces and the avai►able range is from 1 to 50). You may change other settings on the menu, but you must not select YES for MERGE PRINT. 3. Press RETURN to start printing. 90 Word Processing
