IBM Quietwriter I And Quietwriter II - Troubl |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: Most IBM Quietwriter I and Quietwriter II calls can be solved by checking the following three things: 1. EPROM number of the printer (to make sure the printer definition selected is the correct definition). 2. Dip switch settings. Switches 1, 2, 5, and 6 should be off; switches 3 and 4 should be on. The dip switches are located on the floor of the printer to the left of the cartridge holders. 3. Cartridges. Make sure the cartridges plugged into the Quietwriter are marked correctly in WordPerfect. Whatever cartridge is plugged into the A slot and/or the * slot of the printer must be marked the same way in WP. These printers must have a cartridge plugged into the A slot, because they don't have any internal fonts. To check the EPROM number, hold the Stop button down while turning on the printer. When the printer beeps, release the Stop button. The printer will print out the current dip switch settings as well as the EPROM number of the printer on the top line of the self test. The first set of numbers in the self test will tell you how the dip switches are set; zeroes represent a switch that is off, and ones represent switches that are on. For example, if the number is M001100, switches 1 and 2 are on, switches 3 and 4 are off, and switches 5 and 6 are on. The second set of numbers is the EPROM number. If the EPROM number is 1341424 or greater, and there is no model number (a third set of numbers), the printer is a Quietwriter I. If the EPROM number is 1341423 or less, the printer is a Quietwriter I (Old EPROM). If there is a third set of numbers (the model number), the printer is a Quietwriter II. To correct a problem with the IBM Quietwriter printers with Horizontal Spacing, use the following information: The most common cause for the printer to print past the margin (or experience justification problems) is that the cartridges are marked incorrectly in WordPerfect. For WP 5.0 press Shift-F7, S (Select), 3 (Edit), and 5 (Cartridges and Fonts). In WP 5.1, press Shift-F7, S (Select), 3 (Edit) and 4 (Cartridges and Fonts). |
