Problem

Solutions: An extra blank page printed before a print job when using the HP LaserJet III. The customer was not running on a network. They found the extra page to be caused by the orientation setting on the printer menu; it was set to landscape. Changing the orientation to portrait eliminated the extra blank page. To change the menu settings, press Off-line, then the menu button to get the options. Pressing menu will take you through the following options (these are the defaults): COPIES=1* FONT SOURCE=I* FONT NUMBER=0* PAPER=LETTER* ORIENTATION=P* (not "L" for landscape) FORM=60 LINES* (not 45 lines) MANUAL FEED=OFF* SYMBOL SET=ROMAN 8* READY When you get to ORIENTATION and it is set to L, press the + (plus) button to change it to P. Save the changed settings by pressing Enter/Reset Menu until you are back to READY. Note: Another user found that if SYMBOL SET=DESKTOP it would also cause a blank page to be ejected. The solution was to reset that option to the default of SYMBOL SET=ROMAN 8.
