HP LaserJet III, BDT 890 Sheet Feeder - Impro |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The HP LaserJet III printer driver is not functioning properly in respect to bin selection. The escape sequence in the BDT manual when entered as a printer command in WordPerfect does work, but the code has to be placed on each individual page. Because the BDT 890 is supported it seems like it should make the proper bin selection. Solutions: The BDT sheet feeder is not able to recognize HP Plotter commands and believes them to be printable characters. This will cause an improper bin selection. By removing these commands at the beginning of "Initialize at Start of Print Job", the problem was corrected. This is done with following these steps: 1. Retrieve in the .ALL file into the PTR program and select the HP LaserJet III printer. 2. Highlight "Initialize and Reset" and press Enter. 3. Cursor to "Initialize at Start of Print Job" and press the right arrow key. Then, press Ctrl-Enter to bring the expression of codes to the lower window. If using a .ALL or .PRS file dated 01/25/91 or earlier, the expression will appear as hpinitsopj fftype:=1 [27]"&l"ASCII(COPIES)"X" [27]"*r0F" [27]"*v0n1O" [27]"*p3000X" [27]"*p3000X" [27]"%1B" "DT~,1TR0TD1SP1FT10,50CF3,1LB.~;" [27]"%1A" 4. Delete the codes [27]"%1B" "DT~,1TR0TD1SP1FT10,50CF3,1LB.~;" [27]"%1A" 5. Exit the PTR program saving the changes 6. Update the .PRS in WP by pressing Shift-F7 (Print), S (Select Printer), #7 (Update). If using a .ALL or .PRS file dated after 01/25/91, follow steps 1 - 3. After step 3 take the following steps: 4. The expression will appear as hpinitsopj fftype:=1 hp3init The same codes are to be deleted from this expression, but this is done by going into Global String Variables. 5. Press Alt-F8 to enter Global String Variables 6. Type HP3INIT to move to the HP3INIT expression 7. Press Ctrl-Enter to edit the string 8. Delete the codes [27]"%1B" "DT~,1TR0TD1SP1FT10,50CF3,1LB.~;" [27]"%1A" 9. Exit the PTR program saving the changes 10. Update the .PRS in WP by pressing Shift-F7, S, 7 This is not a WP problem, and will not be changed. The plotter commands are needed in the initialization string for Outline purposes. This is a BDT limitation. |
