Problem

Solutions: A customer using the IBM 4029 Model 6 was getting the message, "Flushing" on the printer menu. The printer manual does not describe what "Flushing" is. She apparently called IBM, and they explained to her that Flushing means that to much data is being sent to the printer at one time. (Sort of like Error 21 on the Hewlett-Packard printers). Another customer was using the IBM 4029 LaserPrinter in PostScript mode and received the "Flushing" message when trying to print multiple page documents with complex information. The customer sent EHANDLER.PS and the printer printed a page with a Timeout Error. The customer then sent the TIMEOUT.PS file from DOS, which corrected the problem.
