Title: Printing Reverse Text (White on Black)
Product: WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS
Number: 1125-10/93
Problem
You want to print reverse text■white text on a black
background■but you don't know if your printer will print it
properly and you don't know the steps to do it.
Concept
Many laser and PostScript printers can print reverse text. These
are some of the more common printers:
∙ Apple LaserWriter
∙ Apple LaserWriter Plus
∙ Brother HL-8V
∙ CalComp ColorMaster Plus 6613 PS
∙ HP PaintJet XL300
∙ HP LaserJet III, IIID, IIISi, and IIIP
∙ HP LaserJet IV
∙ Kyocera ECOSYS aSi, FS-1500A
∙ NEC Silentwriter Model 95 PS
∙ NEC Colormate PS
∙ Okidata OL 810
∙ Okidata OL 830
∙ QMS ColorScript 100 model 10
∙ Sharp JX-9500PS.
If your printer isn't on this list, you may still be able to
print reverse text, but it isn't a default (built-in) feature of
your printer. Refer to your printer manual for help.

1 Press Graphics (Alt+F9), then choose Figure (1) and Options
(4).

for each side.
