Unable To Print To COM3 From WordPerfect |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The user is able to print to COM1 and COM2 but cannot print to COM3. He gets the error "Printer Not Accepting Characters" in Printer Control. He can print to COM3 from DOS. Solutions: Many serial and parallel port expansion boards are configurable as COM3/4 or LPT2/3. Many allow IRQ Levels to be selected from 2-7. WordPerfect must know which IRQ level the expansion board is configured for to be able to correctly use the interrupts generated by the board. In order to tell WP what the specific IRQ level is set for, the customer would need to use the advanced settings found in the Print to Hardware Port option. If the customer can determine what the base address the COM3 card is configured for and what IRQ the card is set for, he can enter this into the advanced settings found in the Print to Hardware Port option. *This information is given strictly as a troubleshooting option. |
