HP LaserJet IIISi - Changing Between PCL And |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: The print driver written for the HP LaserJet IIISi printer automatically switches the printer from PCL or PostScript mode to the appropriate mode when sending a print job. For example, if the printer is in PostScript mode, and the user sends a job formatted for the PCL mode, the printer will automatically switch to PCL mode. The opposite is also true, the program will switch the printer to PostScript mode if it is in PCL mode. There is one problem with this mode changing; the program does not set the printer back to its original mode when the job is finished. This can cause problems if the user expects the printer to be in a certain mode when sending a job. For example, If a user sends a print screen, expecting the printer to be in PCL mode, it will not print if it is in PostScript mode. This is not something that can be changed. Customers who are aware of this situation can send a print job formatted with the mode that matches the printer, or actually change the mode for one job, then reset it when finished. The command to change the printer mode is found under "Initialize At Start Of Print Job" in the PTR Program. The .PRS filename for the HP LaserJet III, IIID, IIIP and IIISi printers is HPLASIII.PRS. Since the filename is the same for all four, users should be sure to verify that they have selected the correct driver, if they are experiencing printing problems. For example, the problem explained in this memo of the mode not changing could be caused by having selected the incorrect printer driver (e.g., defining the HP IIISi as the HP IIIP). See Memo P51_2343F in the PRINT51 infobase for more information. |
