Problem

Solutions: Four of the printer files from WPDM6.ALL have been given the same PRS file name. This can cause some serious confusion if a customer is using more than one of these printers and is trying to use the default PRS filename when selecting the printer. The Okidata ML 192 (IBM), Okidata ML 192+ (IBM), Okidata ML 193 (IBM) and Okidata ML 193+ (IBM) have all been named OKML19IB.PRS. One obvious problem is the appearance of the number zero "0" printing on the top left corner of the printed page. When this character prints make sure that the customer is using the correct printer definition with the correct model and correct menu settings. Other options when the "0" prints is to make sure that the correct printer definition has been selected under Select Printer Edit. Ie. One customer thought they were using the Okidata 192 (IBM) definition when in actuality it was the Okidata 193+ (IBM) with the same OKML19IB.PRS filename. In this case suggest that the customer rename one of the .PRS files to be similar to the actual printer name. One quick way to determine if the customer is using the correct printer driver for their printer is to retrieve the OKML191B.PRS file into the PTR program and check to see if the name of the printer is correct.
