Problem

Solutions: A customer was printing to a serial port using an HP LaserJet III printer with a Laserplex I/O board attached. Each time they printed, they would get a sheet of paper with a dot in the upper left corner. After speaking with Laserplex, they discovered there was a tilde (~) just before the period (.) in the global variable string of Initialize At Start Of Print Job. This gave the printer a command to print the period. Therefore, to correct the problem, they added an additional tilde before the period. The steps below can be used to change this: 1. Enter PTR, and retrieve the WPHP1.ALL file. 2. Highlight and select Initialize and Reset. 3. Select Initialize At Start Of Print Job. 4. Press Enter to move into the Expression box. Using the Right arrow key, scroll through the command string. The tilde is found near the end. 5. Type in an additional tilde. 6. Exit and save changes. *This information is given strictly as a troubleshooting option.
