Problem

Symptoms: When the customer tries to manually feed envelopes into her NEC Pinwriter P7, it feeds the envelope through 3 times before it stops and prints correctly. When she uses the sheet feeder everything prints fine. When she tries to manually feed letter size paper, it sends the paper through 2 times and then on the third time it stops at the print head and prints correctly. Solutions: The reset code for the printer [28]"@" at the beginning of the print job clears the buffer in the printer. This ejects all pages from the printer when there is a sheet feeder attached. To get around this problem, enter the PTR program and retrieve the NEC .PRS file. Press Enter on the printer name and then on "Initialize And Reset". Delete the [28]"@" from the string for "Reset at Start of Print Job". This makes it so that the printer does not reset. It should only be used if the customer is having paper fed out of the printer BEFORE the MANUALLY fed print job begins and a sheet feeder is installed. The reset code is necessary for the printer to work properly without the sheet feeder. No changes will be made to the print driver. If the customer would rather, she can use Standard Printer when printing manually.
