Problem

Symptoms: When a customer printed a document containing both graphics (including graphical characters) and text on the same line, the horizontal motion was inaccurate. Solutions: This problem can occur on any Star printer (in the NB, NX, SG, XB, XR series) using relative horizontal positioning with a string that includes IF(QUALITY) in the Relative Horizontal Motion box. The problem occurs because text and graphics are printing in two different qualities. When the quality changes on the same line, the horizontal motion units change. This can be difficult for some printers and may cause them to fail. To correct the problem, perform the following steps:

1.      Enter the PTR Program, retrieve the .PRS file being used, and press Enter on the printer
2.      Move to Horizontal Motion and press Enter
3.      Move to Absolute Horizontal Positioning and mark the option with an asterisk (*)
4.      Press Enter to enter Absolute Motion
5.      Press the right arrow to move to the Expression box
6.      Type in [27]"$"SENDLOHI(XPOS/6) and press Enter
7.      Save and Exit
