The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: When the customer uses the Booklet feature of WP 6.0, the second half of the pages print in PostScript codes (which may appear to be garbage to the customer). Solutions: Users can solve the problem one of two ways:
1.      Change the Timeout to Infinite on the printer. This is most easily accomplished by copying the TIMEOUT.PS file in the printer directory to the printer port (i.e., COPY TIMEOUT.PS LPT1). This way, the printer never gives up on a job until the end of job code is sent from WP. This prevents the printer from switching back to PCL as a default language.

2.      Change the personality on the printer to PostScript so it will expect only PostScript language codes. This setting is on the printer and each printer is different. Customers should refer to their printer manual on how to change the personality to PostScript instead of auto-switching.

How/Why:
The printer is timing out before the second half of the pages are reinserted. Most multi-personality printers switch back to PCL as a default language. So when the customer is reinserting the second half of the sheets, the printer has already timed out and is expecting PCL codes instead of PostScript codes.
