re: [Braillenote] AN INTERESTING ERROR

[peter wilkins]

Thanks J D for your e-mail.

Next time I print a document of more than one page, I will do a 
reset, and see what happens.

Also, I had previously aborted a print job, so the buffer may 
have been affected.

PETER WILKINS.

Hello Peter and List:

Your printing problem interests me as I have a
printing problem of my own.  I have no explanation
of the missing characters in the second page of your
documents, but I would wonder if the cache in your
operating system may be suffering a bit of
corruption.
 Does it always do this or is it less likely to
happen following a reset?

My problem happens in printing a week in the
planner, a requirement of my job.  Always on the
first printing only the first line and a half gets
printed.  I have taken to exiting out of a print job
just prior to the yes prompt, then doing the process
all over again;  this always averts the problem.  I
believe that the print cache easily becomes too
small or does never empty completely following a
print job.

It is all speculation, but try one of these
solutions and let us know if they work for you.

Subject: [Braillenote] AN INTERESTING ERROR

Sometimes, when I print a two page letter from my
Voicenote to my
HP Desk Jet printer, an error occurs near the top of
the second
page.   It usually involves a few characters
missing.

Yesterday I wrote a two page letter, and the second
page started
with the paragraph:  "I am writing to ask you to
refund this taxi
fare".

If I had read this page using a talking scanner, the
error would
not have been detected.   It involved the space
after the word
"ask" being omitted, and the Y and the O from the
word "you" also
missing.   Therefore, the sentence read: "I am
writing to asku to
refund this taxi fare".

I normally use my Optacon to check the top few lines
of the
second page of any document I am sending out, which
is why I was
able to pick up this error.

Does anyone know how I can stop such printing errors
occurring?
The documents are correct on the Voicenote.

Best wishes.

PETER WILKINS
