Star XB-2410/2415: Paper Advances with Paragraph Shading

= SUMMARY =

The Star Micronics XB-2410 and XB-2415 printers may continuously advance the paper after attempting to print a page that includes paragraphs formatted for background shading.

This problem seems to occur after printing 100 lines of text that contain IBM graphics characters (shading) if the current text is formatted for a condensed font size (6, 7, 8, 15) and line spacing is set to 8 lines per inch (Line Spacing: 0.75).

Star Micronics has confirmed this to be a problem in earlier ROM revisions. The problem was corrected in Firmware revision XB 1.3.

Note: To check the ROM version on a Star Micronics dot-matrix printer, turn the printer on while pressing the LF button. The Firmware revision number will be printed above the self-test.
