║ P821 Frequently Asked Questions ║
╚═════════════════════════════════╝
Q: What's the order of files printed through a wildcard specification?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A: The order of file names resulting from wildcards is determined by DOS.
It is the same order as it will result from a plain DIR command, the
list is sorted by the position of the file entry in the directory.
To be sure to get files in the right order, create a *fresh* directory,
copy the files to be printed into it one-by-one whithin the desired order,
and than run P821 on this files.
Q: Why P821 didn't work on HP LaserJet II or III?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A: Main problem is P821 uses the printer build-in fonts to produce it's
output. On HP-LJ2/3 there is no such 5pt (4.5pt) font available. A way
out may be to download a font, but i haven't such fontdata (If somebody
have it, please contact me!). Additional problems may occur on the
lower level of PCL command language, i don't know right yet.
Q: The right border line is missing on printouts done with a DJ500C, DJ550C.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A: There are some charges of the color printer with a lower DPI value than
the 'normal' Deskjet. This will result in a wider printout and because
of P821 use the complete printable area the rightmost columns are lost.
Please use the special option /[ to enable a workaround, it will remove
the binding offset of the left pages but therefore the output will fit
the sheet.
Q: Is there any possibility to suppress the copyright tag on the output?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A: Sophisticated question! Have a e-mail exchange with the author about
spirit of public domain software. if you can handle a screwdriver,
actually i can't prevent it.
$$ Of corse, i'll put into the headline whatever you will pay for! $$
Q: Nice Software, but where is the secret level in first episode.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A: Please run CHKDSK /f. There seems to be some crosslinked clusters...
