Problem

Solutions: There are a couple of things that might cause the IBM 3812 Pageprinter to print graphic characters instead of a desired print job. The first could be that the printer has not been initialized or second, the printer has been initialized to function as an IBM Graphics printer.

There is a RAM resident program called 3812INIT.EXE that installs an interpretive driver for the Pageprinter and reduces the capabilities to those of an IBM Graphics printer. There is a file that can be sent to the printer to set it in graphics mode (3812INIT.EXE). If used, the customer will want to select the IBM Graphic driver. The 3812 may not give satisfactory results while in graphics mode.

The only case where this would be used is with the IBM multi-user hub that allows up to 8 users to be attached to the same Pageprinter.
