IBM Quietwriter III - Print To Disk File Stop |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: A customer has an IBM Quietwriter III. When he printed his documents within WordPerfect, they printed perfectly. However, when he tried to print a "Print To Disk" file at DOS, the printer stopped about a quarter of the way down the page. If the same document was printed on a Panasonic KX-P1592, it printed fine in WordPerfect and at DOS. Solutions: The customer should use the /B option with the DOS Copy command, when printing a "Print To Disk" file. This startup option converts the output data to Binary code instead of ASCII. If there is a ^Z in the document, the data flow will stop at that point. This is because ^Z is an End Of File marker. But, by changing the file to Binary code, WP prints the file on the basis of file size and does not look for an End Of File marker (^Z) to end data transfer. |
