2.00

MS-DOS

Works version 2.00 will not send the POSTSCRP.INI file to your printer if, from the Print menu, you choose Print Form Letters or Print Labels. The print merge may not print or may cause an error on the printer.

The POSTSCRP.INI file must already be in the printer’s memory before a print merge will work. To make sure the INI file is sent to the printer, from the Print menu, choose Print immediately before the first merge. The text of the document will be printed and in the process the POSTSCRP.INI file will be copied to the printer’s memory.

= MORE INFORMATION =

The POSTSCRP.INI file will be erased from the printer’s memory if the printer is turned off or if another program writes over the memory area occupied by the POSTSCRP.INI. If, from the Print menu, you choose Print Form Letters or Print Labels and it results in an error on the printer or no output, choose Print to resend the INI file.
