Problem

Symptoms: The customer is using an Okidata ML 293 (IBM) printer. From a blank screen with the default margins, he selects the 17 pitch font in Document Initial Fonts. His document prints normally until he bolds some text, at which point the font changes to what appears to be a 10 pitch font with large spaces between the words. Solutions: This problem has been duplicated. The following changes in the PTR Program will correct the problem: 1. Enter PTR and retrieve the .PRS file 2. Press Enter on the printer 3. Move to Font and press Enter 4. Highlight the 17cpi font and press Enter 5. Move to Load and Select Strings and press Enter 6. Move to the expression box and press Alt-F8 to move to the string variables 7. Move to the string variable labeled font.196 and press Ctrl-Enter to move to an editing window. The variable will be as follows: qual.194 IF(fnt==1) [18] ELSEIF(fnt==2) [27,58] ELSEIF(fnt==3) [15] ENDIF IF(PITCH==24) [27,87,49] ENDIF IF(SLANT) [27,37,71] ENDIF IF(PTSIZE==1200) [27,85,1,27,31,49,27,73,49] SETMETHOD(BOLD,MULTIPLEPAS ELSEIF(PTSIZE==300) [27,83,1] ENDIF 8. Look for the following lines, which are the third and fourth lines of the string: ELSEIF(fnt==3) [15] ENDIF 9. Change this to read as follows: ELSEIF(fnt==3) [15] SETMETHOD(BOLD,MULTIPLEPASS) ENDIF 9- Exit and save this change. This will correct the problem. This has been submitted to Development and should be corrected on the printer release following 04/15/91.
