General Troubleshooting
In this appendix we list several typical problems encountered by
users in various printing situations-along with possible solutions.
Problem
Setting Print Styles
Can't get Compressed print.
Doesn't go back to Pica print
when Proportional Mode is
cancelled.
Changing Form Measurements
Solution
Cancel Emphasized, Elite,
Proportional, and/or Script
Modes. They have priority over
Compressed. See Table F-4 for
priorities.
Proportional print "masks" other
modes. When it is cancelled, the
printer assumes the mode that it
was in prior to Proportional. To
get back to Pica, cancel all other
modes.
The (ESC) "C" command is not Don't set form lengths of 0 or
working properly. 128.
The (ESC) "N" skip-over-
perforation doesn't work.
Tabbing
Vertical tabs don't work
correctly.
Don't set the SOP larger than the
form length.
Can't set vertical tabs greater
than the form length. Each tab
sequence must be terminated by a
CHR$(O) or a number less than
the last tab value.
