Problem

Solutions: To print the status sheet on the IBM 4019 LaserPrinter, turn the printer on while holding down "Stop/Start" button until the lights come on. On the top of the list is the installed memory for the printer and the page count. The sheet lists numbers for the rest of the settings. These numbers refer to the different settings that are listed in the printer manual. Unless the customer has this manual, WordPerfect can't tell if the printer has the right settings or not. Following is the listing of the rest of the status sheet. Operating mode: There are two modes. A for Bold is the default. This produces bolder text and graphic characters. B for Fine is the other mode which produces finer line definition for text and graphic characters. Data stream: 1 is the default which is IBM ASCII or IBM PPDS mode. 2 is HP emulation mode. 3 is Plotter emulation mode. 8 is PostScript mode. This option is accessible only if the PostScript interpreter is installed in the printer. Interface: Parallel is the default. If the printer is hooked up the computer's serial port, then this printout needs to list the interface as Serial. This printer only has one port. Default Paper Sizes: There should be five single digit numbers listed from left to right. The first number refers to the form size for manual feed. The second refers to the form size for Tray 1. The third refers to the form size for Tray 2. The fourth refers to the form size for the Envelope feeder. The fifth refers to the form size for manual feed envelopes. One of these numbers will be underlined. This indicates which location is the Active default paper source. The default is Tray 1, so the second number from the left would be underlined if set to default. The numbers that print all refer to different sizes listed in the printer manual. The first three single digit numbers can be 1 through 6. One refers to Letter, 8.5 x 11". Two refers to Legal, 8.5 x 14". Three is B5, 7.17 x 10.1". Four is A4, 8.27 x 11.7". Five is Exec, 7.25 x 10.5". Six is Reserved. The next two single digit numbers can be 1 through 7 and refer to envelope sizes. One refers to a 7 3/4 envelope, 3.875 x 7.5". Two refers to a #9 envelope, 3.875 x 8.9". Three is a #10 envelope, 4.12 x 9.5". Four is DL, 4.33 x 8.66". Five is C5, 6.38 x 9.02". Six is B5, 6.93 x 9.84". Seven is other, 8.5 x 14" (Max). The default will list the following numbers: 1 1 1 3 3. Default Font: This category is information regarding fonts when the printer is in IBM PPDS mode (default). Resident is default. Other options include downloaded fonts and font cards 1 or 2. To get a printout, press the Orientation and Font keys simultaneously while the printer is on-line. If the printer is at default, a 1 (Courier 10) should follow Resident. After the number is either a Y or N. The default is Y, which means the printer stops for operator intervention on font errors. N means the printer performs a "best-fit" function and prints the job. HP Emulation Default Font, Symbol Set, VMI: This information is regarding fonts when the printer is in HP mode. First is location. Then a number corresponding to the font list printout, a number indicating the Symbol Set, and a number for VMI. This information is irrelevant unless the printer is in HP mode. "Resident 1 277 600" is default. Other Defaults: This lists a table with numbers 1 through 8 at the top and A, B, C down the side. The settings are in binary expression (0 or 1). Row A refers to the IBM PPDS settings. Row B is the Hardware settings. Row C is the Plotter Emulation settings. A3 is Page Format and 0-Print Page is the default. A4 is Auto CR after LF and 0-No is the default. A5 is Auto LF after CR and 0-No is the default. A6 is Character Set and 1-CS2 is the default. A7 is Line Spacing and 0-6 LPI is the default. A8 is ESC@parse and 0-Parsed As 3 Bytes is the default. B2 is INIT* Signal (Reset from computer) and 0-Honored is the default. B3-B4-B5 is Default Paper Source and 0-0-1 (Tray 1) is the default. B7 is Paper Tray Number and 0 is the default (Tray 1 is the top tray, Tray 2 is the bottom tray). B8 is Orientation and 0-Portrait is the default. C6-C7-C8 are only used if the printer is in Plotter emulation mode, and 0-0-0 is the default. The whole table at default would be the following: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 A: 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 B: 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 C: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 If the printer is in PostScript mode, a test page will print out when the printer is turned on. Some of the information included on the test page is the version number of the Adobe PostScript Interpreter, the typefaces, the number pages printed, amount of RAM installed, the timeouts, the interface, and a few other printer settings.
