RE: 4234 Printer - You have to specify the CPI-15 command in the CL program for each printer

On a system 36 we used multiple printers including 4234's. In order for the 
4234 to print CPI-15, a command had to be included in the OCl procedure

an example of the command is "PRINTER NAME-SYSTEM2,CPI-15"

I assume that a similar type command is required in CL

Sounds like, and I'm making a lot of assumptions here, you are doing 15 cpi 
printing.  The 4234, when set properly, will switch back and forth from 10 
cpi to 15 cpi as appropriate.  (It's been over 12 years since I used one.)

It should not terminate is the settings are not appropriate.  It should 
either send a message, or print in the wrong cpi.  As this printer is 
really not current technology, it likely doesn't have IBM's focus, and it 
sounds like a bug to me.  Keep in mind that this printer came out on the 
System/38.  (BTW, I think that it was/is a wonderful printer.  Today I no 
longer use any tractor based printers.)
