Problem

Symptoms: When the customer prints to a C.Itoh F10-40 or a Diablo 630 printer, a "Q" prints in the upper left corner of the page. The page advances five to seven inches before the document prints on the C.Itoh printer. When the customer uses the Standard Printer driver, the printer works fine. Solutions: Some serial printers use the first code that is sent to the printer and use it as a test code. The first code that is sent to the printer in this case is [27]"Q". The [27] is used as the test code and the "Q" is printed as text at the top of the page. This should only happen with serial printers and not parallel printers. The customer changed the Initialize at Start of Print Job in the PTR Program to send [0,27]"Q". By adding a Null code (the 0) to the beginning of the string, the 0 will be used as the test code and the rest will be interpreted correctly by the printer. The steps for doing this are as follows:

      1.      Retrieve the .PRS or .ALL file into the PTR program
      2.      Select Initialize and Reset
      3.      Select Initialize at Start of Print Job
      4.      Change the [27]"Q" to [0,27]"Q"
      5.      Save the file, and exit the PTR program
