Good Morning.

Client has just installed an IBM 6400 line printer which is currently
ignoring the Printer File associated with a specific report.

I know this because the Printer File specifies:

. 15 cpi printing, the printer is printing the report at 10 cpi.

. Draft mode, the report is in Standard mode

In addition the printed output is showing:

. At least 1 line of 198 spurious characters at the beginning of the
report.

. the characters "a+00216H" as the first 8 characters of every print
line.

Neither the spurious characters nor the "a+00216H" are in the report's
spoolfile.

Any ideas where to go first?
