   Here's the solution to a common problem. Users often draw lines on a report 
 
   but end up with strange a and e characters when they print the report on an 
 
   HP LaserJet printer.
 
   The Problem
   ===========
   The problem is that HP LaserJet printers by default use the Roman-8 
   character set, which does not support the extended ASCII character set 
   (those characters, including line-drawing characters, that use ASCII 
   codes greater than 127). R:BASE draws lines by using the extended ASCII 
   character set.
 
 
   The Solution
   ============
   You can solve this problem either of two ways: 
 
   <>  Change the default character set on the printer directly by using 
       the control panel. See your HP LaserJet User's Manual for the 
       details on how to do this.
   <>  Change the font from within R:BASE by modifying the HP LaserJet 
       printer file (HPLASER1.PRD) provided with R:BASE.  To do this, use 
       RBEDIT to add the following two lines to the bottom of HPLASER1.PRD:
 
       #IBM_PC8 <27 40 49 48 85>
       #ROMAN_8 <27 40 56 85>
 
   Save the file and then modify the report containing the lines. Add a 
   blank report header (RH) line to the top of the report and locate the 
   #IBM_PC8 print style at the beginning of the report. To reset the 
   character set to Roman-8 after the report is printed, add a final report 
   footer (RF) line to the bottom of the report and locate the #ROMAN_8 
   print style at the end of the report.
