Problem

Symptoms: The customer does not have any keyboard control when the printer is feeding a page. The customer is running WordPerfect from a network but is printing to a local printer. Solutions: The customer had a MODE command in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The command was MODE LPT1,,R. When this command was removed the problem with the keyboard did not occur. According to the DOS manual on Mode commands, the Retry option can be either e, b, p, r, or n. The "r" is to return Ready from a status check of a busy port. The DOS manual states: "If you are using a MODE command over a Network, do not use any Retry options." *This information is given as a troubleshooting option.
