Canceling Print Job Causing "01 EXT READY" Me |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: When the customer cancels a single print job in Control Printer, the printer shows the message "01 EXT READY," and he is forced to reboot and turn the printer off and back on. He is using an HP LaserJet Series II with the QMS JetScript board, and he has his printer defined as the QMS JetScript. If he sends multiple print jobs and cancels them everything works fine. Solutions: "01 EXT READY" is displayed before the startup page prints. This message is also displayed every time the JetScript controller card is processing a PostScript file, indicating that the JetScript controller card has control of the HP LaserJet Series II printer engine. When WP starts a job and then cancels the job, no end of file marker is sent, putting the printer into an error state. Most PostScript printers will then not print the job because it is an error, but they will print the next job that comes through. On the QMS JetScript, the controller card has not given up control of the printer and thus the printer remains in "01 EXT READY." To clear the controller card, send a Ctrl-C from DOS. |
