Problem

Symptoms: The customer is using the Apple LaserWriter IINT. He has a large document with many Redline/Strikeout codes in it. There are various pages that will not print. Using EHANDLER.PS shows an offending command on each of these pages. It shows a -1 repeat value in the stack, and it cannot have a -1 repeat value, thus it locks and will not print the page. Solutions: This has been fixed on the 08/24/90 release of the printer diskettes. The change that was made is to the Postscript Prologue. The steps to change this are 1. Enter the PTR program and retrieve the .ALL file or the .PRS file. Highlight the printer name and press Enter. 2. Press Alt-F8 to go to the Global String Variables. Cursor to prologue variable and press Enter. 3. Press Ctrl-Enter to move to the editing screen. Press the down arrow until you find /nbuff on the left hand side. Change the 32 to 50. 4. Cursor to the /_st. Make sure that the expression reads: /_st {gsave currentpoint pop Sx dup Sy _mt sub (\320) stringwidth pop div dup floor cvi dup dup 0 gt {{(\320) show} repeat}{pop} ifelse sub dup 0 gt {1 scale (\320) show}{pop} ifelse grestore } bdef Note: If you have the 03/09/90 printer date or earlier, then the third line of the expression should contain _moveto rather than _mt. 5. Exit the PTR program and save the changes to the file. If the changes are made to the .ALL file, update the printer (Shift-F7, S, 7) in WordPerfect Disks to send: Printer 1,2,3,4
