Problem

Solutions: Within the last few months there have been several STRs generated which indicate a problem with the Qume Sprint 11+ printing from the bottom of the page to the top at some point in the document. Upon contacting Qume Technical Support on several occasions, the problem is now clear and a solution is available. The problem is due to the fact that the printer attempts to be efficient in its motion. This means that when it is doing bi-directional printing, and a short line is followed by a long line, the printer may decide the more efficient motion is to print the longer line before printing the shorter one. The problem only occurs when this situation exists at the bottom of a page and a sheet feeder is being used. When the page receives a reverse line feed, it is pushed into the sheet feeder and is crumpled. WordPerfect is able to correct this hardware problem by utilizing absolute motion rather than relative motion. The following outlines the changes to be made in the PTR program. Also, watch your Software Change Notices for potential changes. 1. Enter the PTR program by typing PTR at the proper prompt 2. Press Shift-F10 to retrieve the WPRINT2.ALL file 3. Go to the Qume Sprint 11 printer and press Enter 4. Go to Horizontal Motion and press Enter 5. For your information, the codes that are presently being used are found under Relative Horizontal Spacing (microspace) and are as follows: Move Forward [27]"H@@"SENDLO(hmove) Move Backward [27]"HP@"SENDLO(hmove) Maximum Units 15 Perform Carriage Return [13] Auto Line Feed on Carriage Return? NO Send Attribute Byte Expand Inter-Char. Spacing (Add Dots) 6. Move the cursor to HMI (only) and press Enter. Fill in the Expressions for the options below as indicated: Set HMI (Horizontal Motion Index) [27,31]SENDLO(HS+1) Maximum Units 125 Perform Backspace [8] Perform Carriage Return [13] Auto Line Feed on Carriage Return? NO Set Forward Printing [27]"5" Set Reverse Printing [27]"6" 7. Press F7. Be sure to mark HMI (only) by typing an * "asterisk" while the cursor is still at HMI (only). 8. Press F7 until you are back to the list of options for the Qume printer, and place the cursor on Vertical Motion and press Enter 9. The codes that are presently being used are found under Relative Vertical Motion and are as follows: Maximum Units 15 Move Up [27]"VP@"SENDLO(vmove) Move Down [27]"V@@"SENDLO(vmove) 10. Move the cursor to VMI (Vertical Motion Index) and press Enter. Fill in the Expressions for the options below as indicated: Set VMI (Vertical Motion Index) [27,30]SENDLO(VS+1) Maximum Units 125 Perform Line Feed [10] Auto Carriage Return on Line Feed? NO Perform Reverse Line Feed [27,10] Auto Carriage Return on Rev Line Feed? NO 11. Using F7, exit. Be sure to mark VMI (Vertical Motion Index) by typing an * "asterisk" while the cursor is still at VMI (Vertical Motion Index). 12. Press F7 to get back to the list of options for the Qume printer, and place the cursor on Initialize and Reset and press Enter. 13. The codes that are presently being used are as follows: Initialize Printer (download, etc.) Initialize at Start of Print Job [27]"<" Reset at End of Print Job [27,26,73][27]">" Initialize at Start of Page Reset Advance at End of Page Printer Auto Page Advance? IF((BIN<=0)||(BIN==32)).. Set Page Length 14. Edit both Initialize at Start of Print Job and Reset at End of Print Job to reflect the changes in the Expressions for the options as indicated: Initialize Printer (download, etc.) Initialize at Start of Print Job Reset at End of Print Job [27,26,73] Initialize at Start of Page Reset/Advance at End of Page Printer Auto Page Advance? IF((BIN<=0)||(BIN==32)).. Set Page Length 15. Using F7, exit the PTR program saving and replacing the WPRINT2.ALL file. Upon re-entering WP, press Shift-F7, S for Select Printer and 7 to Update the .PRS file.
