Problem

Symptoms: The customer has an IBM Quietwriter III printer and the IBM Single Bin sheet feeder. A "G" is printed at the top of every page. He is sending the file to COM1 where it is intercepted by a device called a "BAYTECH Print Sharer" which converts the print data and sends it out a parallel port to the printer. The BAYTECH print sharer allows 8 serial inputs with 4 serial outputs. Solutions: The first byte must be getting lost in the transmission. The customer can put a [0] at the beginning of the Initialize at Start of Print Job in the PTR Program under the Initialize and Reset screen. This has been confirmed as a change to WP.EXE on the 03/30/90 release. The null [0] was taken out of initializing the port. This was to fix print sharing devices but may not have.
