Problem

Solutions: Occasionally an Okidata ML 292 or 293 printer in IBM mode will print a word twice before moving on to the next word or the print head will be very jerky as it's printing. This is a ROM problem on the printer. It can be fixed through the following steps:

      1.      Start the PTR Program, and retrieve the .ALL file
      2.      Press Enter on Okidata ML 292/293 (IBM)
      3.      Press Enter on Horizontal Motion
      4.      Select HI (With Microspacing)
      5.      Press Enter on Set HI (Horizontal Motion Index), and enter [27,78,0]
      6.      Press Enter on Maximum Units, and enter 40
      7.      Press Enter on Set HMI For Each Character?, and enter No
      8.      Press Enter on Perform Backspace, and enter [8]
      9.      Press Enter on Perform Carriage Return, and enter [13]
      10.      Press Enter on Auto Line Feed ON Carriage Return?, and enter No
      11.      Update the .PRS file in WordPerfect (Shift-F7, S, U)

NOTE: Making these changes to the .ALL file will make the customer have inconsistent results with tabs.
