Problem

Solutions: When printing an odd sized form with an HP LaserJet IIIP printer, if the dimensions of the paper are not exact, WordPerfect will send a letter sized paper code to printer allowing the odd sized form to pull continuously. For example: a monarch envelope should be 7.5" x 3.875" (which will round to 3.8"). If it were entered in WP as 7.5" x 3.9", then WP will send a letter sized paper code to the printer allowing the 7.5" x 3.9" form to pull continuous from the MP tray. Normally the MP= menu setting on the printer will prohibit any other paper size from pulling continuous. But if it does not match a predefined paper size, then WP will pull as if it were letter. One customer did not want to press the On-Line button or Alt-Continue to print an envelope on an HP LaserJet IIIP printer. The customer changed the size of the paper definition to 9.6" x 4". The printer then pulled the envelopes continuously.
