I believe teh 6400 and be set to emulate a number of different devices. I
would check those settings in the 6400 and match/change those or the device
description to match.

Maybe the printer device description?
Sounds like the host thinks the printer speaks a strange language . . .

Subject: A new printer and the Printer File

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?
