= SUMMARY =

If you receive corrupted output in Novell, try entering the command CAPTURE SH from the Library Run command. You will see a screen similar to the following:

LPT1: Capturing data to server NOVELL queue PRINTQ_0 Capture Defaults:Enabled Automatic Endcap:Enabled Banner :(None) Form Feed :Yes Copies :1 Tabs :Converted to 3 spaces Form :0 Timeout Count :Disabled

LPT2: Capturing not Currently Active

LPT3: Capturing not Currently Active

If the “Tabs :” field says “Converted to # spaces,” this indicates the current print job configuration defined in the PRINTCON.DAT file by the PRINTCON menu utility has the File Contents field set to TEXT. Word Versions earlier than 2.00 require that this field be set to BYTESTREAM. You must access the PRINTCON menu utility and change your default print configuration to reflect this.
