HP LaserJet III Prompting For Manual Envelope
DocumentID: 646369

The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer is manually printing an envelope (page 1) and letterhead (page 2), and then the rest of the document is continuous. The HP LaserJet III prompts "PE Feed Envelope" for the first and second pages and then continues to print normally for the rest of the document. The customer feels that the second page should prompt for a manual feed letter instead of envelope. Solutions: This has been duplicated in-house. WordPerfect will not send a Manual Feed On code for a page if the previous page was a manual page. The same thing would apply to page length. In the HP driver, WP sends a code for Manual Envelope for a manual envelope form. Since this is still set in the printer when it receives the page length command for Standard, it still prompts for a manual envelope. This can be fixed in the PTR program with the following steps:
1.      Retrieve the .ALL file and select the HP printer.
2.      Press Alt-F8, then Alt-F9 for Global Integers.
3.      Press 2 to Add, Ctrl-Enter, then type in manon and press Enter. Make sure it has a value of 0 under Expressions. Then press F8 to get back to printers.
4.      Select the HP printer the customer is using and press Enter on Printer Commands.
5.      Press Ctrl-Enter on Manual Feed On and add manon:=1. Press F7.
6.      Press Ctrl-Enter on Manual Feed Off and add manon:=0. Press F7 and exit back to the main menu.
7.      Press Enter on Initialize and Reset, and Ctrl-Enter on Initialize at Start of Page. Add IF(manon&&formsize<80) [27]"&l2H" ENDIF.
8.      Exit, save, and replace.
9.      Update in WP (Shift-F7, S, U).
