This article was previously published under Q88098 SUMMARY
According to Microtek Technical Support, when printing large files
(over 20 pages) from Microsoft Windows version 3.1 to the TrueLaser
PostScript printer model MTP-306, you may receive the following error
message on the printout:
Offending Command
To correct this problem, Microtek suggests adding the following line
to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
MORE INFORMATION
Setting Windows' Transmission Retry to 999 does not correct this
problem.
The MODE command shown above is a retry setting to indicate how a
print job should be handled when a printer does not accept
information.
The two commas are placeholders for the first two parameters
(characters-per-line and line-per-inch), which will not change.
Information is then sent to the printer until the printer returns a
completion code or an error code to MS-DOS, or until you press CTRL+C
or CTRL+BREAK to stop printing.
This MODE command is documented on page 256 of the Microsoft MS-DOS
version 5.0 "User's Guide and Reference."
NOTE: an alternative troubleshooting method would be to turn off the
Windows Print Manager.
