Problem

Solutions: A customer was unable to print the dollar sign character ($) from WP on a Xerox 4045 printer. After speaking with Xerox, he was told that his A6 switch should be ON for the character to print. In PRHELP it reads that the A6 switch should be off. However, when the A6 switch was ON, the character printed.

If one changes the A6 switch (as suggested by Xerox), they are putting the printer in an ASCII mode. This will cause several problems because WPs driver is written in the ISO mode. It was written in the ISO mode per Xerox's request. If the dollar sign is not printing, it is possible that they are using a PC font instead of an ISO font and it is always a good idea to check their switch settings.

One can also go into PTR to the Initialize and Reset and check the select font string. Look up the variable for the font and if it is an ISO font, it will have something similar to the following in the variable: ISO:=1. An ISO font must use an ISO character map and a PC font must use a PC character map.
