Details
If you find that Pound signs (£) sometimes do not print correctly on an old printer (e.g. a dot matrix printer) then the most common solution is to check the "Default Print Device" setting of the relevant "Print Record".
Method
To correct this problem you will need to amend the "Printer Parameters".
- The easiest way to amend these is by pressing <Alt+P> while inside any platinum program.
- Press <Ctrl+F1> to open the "Printer Record Search" window.
- Press [Search] then select the print record not displaying (£) properly from the list and press [Edit] or press <F5>.
- On the "Printer Parameters" window, select the "Device" tab.
- If the "Default Print Device" does not begin with a three letter code followed by a colon (e.g. 'WIN:' or 'WND:') then you may find that inserting 'DOS:' (without the quotes) in front of the current "Print Device" entry will solve your Pound sign printing woes.
