Problem

Solutions: The Systemizer Plus network is a printer sharing network similar to the TOPS network for Macintosh computers. A print command (Shift-F8, 4, 6, 2, 1) must be sent in order to tell the network which printer to send the job to. The syntax for the printer command is where # is the number of the printer. The < character in a printer command string signifies to WP that a decimal number follows. If while scanning the string, a < is not followed by a decimal number, then the character following the < will be "eaten." You should be able to produce the same string by entering these characters <. The first < will cause the second < to be eaten, and all other characters will flow through unchanged.

Customers may find that a better alternative is to create a separate .PRS printer driver file for the networked printer and enter the printer command there. The command would be entered in the Initialize Printer Before Print Job string in the format "". The double quotes define the string, so the problem with the < character encountered when using an embedded printer command does not exist.
