Merge To The Printer - Printer Pauses After P |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: A customer is using an HP LaserJet Series IIISi printer with the {PRINT} command to merge to the printer, not the screen. The printer will print about 9 pages, pause, then print about 9 more pages and pause, etc. Why is the printer pausing? Solutions: Printing is a background feature in WordPerfect and is also interrupt driven. Anything in the background gets the lowest priority. The merge gets top priority. There is also a lot of disk access happening during a merge, and nothing else can happen during the disk access. WP is printing during the merge only when there is nothing else to do. After creating a loop which merges 20 pages at a time, the printer no longer pauses. |
