Re: Appleworks printing to 3 up post cards?

[Hugh Hood <hughhood@earthlink.net>]

Steve:

On an HP Deskjet 672C, Perforation Skip is DISabled with the following
command:

<esc> & l 0 L  (The 3rd character is a lower case 'ell')

I would just send this as an AppleWorks special code from the Printer
Options menu in the Database Labels Report print module.

FWIW, upon looking at the manuals for the 672C, I didn't notice any DIP
switches for that model DeskJet. (Plus, you may not want that as your
default setting anyway).


Now, to re-ENable Perforation Skip:

<esc> & l 1 L  (The 3rd character is a lower case 'ell')


If you're interested, here are the links to the online manuals I found:

<http://www.service.belhard.com/documentation/PCL3_developers_guide.pdf>

And

<http://www.service.belhard.com/documentation/printers/deskjet/dj670_data_sh
eet.pdf>


Give this a try. I know from personal experience with my LaserJet 4050s
(PCL5) that disabling the perforation skip cleared up the page creep problem
when printing from a lot of my old BASIC programs.
