Problem

Solutions: Within the last few months there have been several STR's generated which indicate a problem with the Qume Sprint 11+ printing from the bottom of the page to the top at some point in the document. Upon contacting Qume Technical Support on several occasions the problem is now clear and a solution is available.

The problem is due to the fact that the printer attempts to be efficient in it's motion. This means that when it is doing Bi-directional printing and a short line is followed by a long line, the printer may decide the more efficient motion is to print the longer line before printing the shorter one. The problem only occurs when this situation exists at the bottom of a page and a sheetfeeder is being used. When the page receives a reverse line feed it is pushed into the sheetfeeder and is crumpled. WordPerfect is able to correct this hardware problem by utilizing absolute motion rather than relative motion.

The following outlines the changes to be made in the PTR program. Also, watch your Software Change Notices for potential changes.
