RE: printing problems

["Smith, Mike" <Mike_Smith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry, was in a rush to get out of here when I typed that.
Basically, its it printing at the wrong CPI and drops characters past 132.
Its like it ignores the override to 198 15.

I'm not really concerned about the message, other than on the one test, that
was the only thing that I did differently and caused them to print
differently.

This has apparently been an ongoing problem, and people just move their
condensed print reports to another printer.
This is the first I had heard about this problem, and my initial thought was
- override in CL not correct, but that isn't the problem.

Thanks.

I think you need to provide a few details here.  What exactly does "printed
incorrect" mean.  Do you mean it
-  Prints at wrong CPI?
-  Wraps characters onto next line
-  Drops characters past Column 132
-  Prints Landscape instead of Portrait?
-  Something else?

If you are concerned that 'I' or 'G' to the forms type message may be a
problem, have you tested this possibility by running the report a few more
times to see what happens?

Guys,
We have an Infoprint 40 printer.  Its defined IPDS.
The problem we have is with reports that are over 132 characters.  Mostly
198 characters.  15cpi.
Sometimes they print correctly, sometimes not.
While looking at this problem today, I ran 1 particular report twice.  The
first time, I had a message(to change form type to *std).  I took an 'I' .
It printed incorrect.
The second time I ran this report I answered the same message with a 'G'.
It printed correct.

Coincidence?  I 'm not sure, but if not.  Why?  I thought form type was
pretty meaningless, other than to give the user the chance to change form
types.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Mike
