WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: The customer received the error message "Printer Not Accepting Characters" while trying to print serially to an HP LaserJet IID printer. The customer also received an "Out Of Paper" error message when using the Copy Con print test from DOS (ver 4.01), even though the printer was on-line and loaded with paper. The customer was re-routing the port with the following Mode statement in his AUTOEXEC.BAT file: MODE COM1:9600,8,1,N,P,E MODE LPT1:=COM1 After changing the E option in the Mode statement to an R option, the user could print from DOS and from WP 5.1. In the DOS 4.01 Manual, the E option definition is "Returns error from a status check of a busy port. Use this value if the printer is driven by a network." The R option definition is "Returns error from the status check of a busy port. Use this value if compatibility with previous versions of MS DOS is desired." |
