FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: When I print a file with my Hewlett-Packard DeskJet the
printed pages come out in reverse order, and I must
therefore abort the print job. What is wrong?
A: There is nothing wrong. The DeskJet series of printers
will often begin printing with the last page of the
document because The Paper Saver collates your print job.
If you wait until the complete print job is complete you
will be pleasantly surprised to find the page on the top
of the printed stack will be page number 1! No
re-shuffling of the stack is required. In order to have
the last page print as page 1, the first page printed
must be the last page. Don't panic early...The Paper
Saver knows what it is doing.
Q: In the dual column and quad page modes, some of the
letters at the end of each line are printed missing.
What is causing this?
A: There is only so much room horizontally on each page to
print text. If the file you are attempting to print has
more than 78 horizontal characters per line, then you
will lose some characters beyond column 78 in your file.
One way to compensate for this is to strip the left
margin of unnecessary blank spaces. From the
"Configurations" menu you can strip leading spaces, or
shrink the left margin to give you more breathing room
along the right margin.
If you have no left margin to shrink, and you can't
afford to lose any characters along the right margin,
consider switching to landscape mode, or consider doing
away with dual column or quad page format. You can use a
full page condensed print mode instead.
Q: The Paper Saver does not wrap words around to the next
printed line. Why not?
A: The program does NOT reformat your text files. It is not
a word processor. The only modifications that The Paper
Saver makes is stripping or reducing left margins and
removal of page breaks. The program does not reformat
paragraphs, therefore word wrapping is not possible.
Q: The Paper Saver locks up when I try to print Word Perfect
document files. What is wrong?
A: The Paper Saver works only with pure ASCII text files.
Files saved by Word Perfect, Ami Pro, Microsoft Word,
etc., are normally saved in binary format, and are not
ASCII files. When you consider the literally dozens of
proprietary file formats that exist, it would be a major
task for The Paper Saver to be able to convert or read
all of them. The Paper Saver only works with simple,
plain ASCII text files. Neither does it print graphics.
If you do have a Word Perfect file that you would like
The Paper Saver to print, you must first save or export
your Word Perfect, Ami Pro, etc. document as an ASCII
text file.
Q: When I print using any double-sided format, I receive a
prompt window instructing me to remove the printed sheets
and to reinsert the stack back into the printer's paper
tray...while the printer is still printing! What's
wrong?
A: Nothing is wrong. The Paper Saver simply does not know
how fast your printer is printing. Each printer has a
buffer where data received from your computer is stored.
Each printer's buffer memory size is different. The
larger the buffer, the sooner you will receive a message
prompt instructing you to reinsert your paper stack for
the second pass of printing (double-sided mode only).
You will have to keep your eye on your printer's panel
"BUSY" light to know when it is time to reinsert the
paper into your printer. Once the "BUSY" light goes off,
your printer has finished printing the first side pass,
and is ready to start printing on the reverse side. At
this point, it is safe to remove the printed stack and
reinsert it into your printer.
