| The following messages will be displayed during the print operation.
Preparing Document . . .
Formatting Document . . .
Printing Document . . .
Printed Document
At what point is the print slow?
What type of document is being printed, what type of formatting is being
performed, and what type of printer is being used?

| Re: .1
The printer is a BROTHER 1509
The document is a .TXT file without any formatting.
The user enters P and immediately receives "Preparing Document"
He then immediately receicves the WPPARG form.
He hits return and WAITS (15-20 seconds)
Then he receives "Printing Document" and the document commences printing.
He does NOT receive a "Formating Document" message; I assume since this is a
.TXT file without formatting.
Thanks,
Cb.

| 3517.3 | ALL-IN-1 document information please | IOSG::NEWLAND | Richard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2 | Thu Nov 11 1993 11:38 | 11 |
| What is the type of document in ALL-IN-1 terms, that is, the data type and
handling because this is what controls how ALL-IN-1 processes the document.
If the file type is .TXT then it's probably an ASCII document. Such
documents are still formatted, normally using the ALL-IN-1 ASCII formatter.
You should always get a 'Formatting document . . .' message.
Are there any customizations on this system?

This is correct.

The customer does NOT see it - unless it disappears very quickly.
>Are there any customizations on this system?
Absolutely nothing!

| 3517.5 | First print or first port print? | IOSG::NEWLAND | Richard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2 | Thu Nov 11 1993 15:35 | 8 |
| The 'Formatting document . . .' document could disappear very quickly if it
is a small ASCII document.
Is the delay occuring for the first print to any destination or only for
the first print to a port printer?

| The problem is NOT restricted to printing to PORT. I logged into the users
system and temporarily bypassed the formatter, and the first time printing to
any queue/port/whatever is VERY slow; subsequent prints are fast.
Thanks,
Cb.

| 3517.7 | Uncompiled form library? | IOSG::NEWLAND | Richard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2 | Mon Nov 15 1993 18:33 | 12 |
| Could you repeat the tests but this time type Gold-E on the Print Document
form?
The first time you type Return or Gold-E on the Print Document form the
OA$PRINTSTYLES dataset will be accessed for this first time.
OA$PRINTSTYLES is a special data set which makes two real datasets, User
Print styles and System Print styles, act as single dataset. All of these
are large datasets and will take a few seconds to compile if pre-compiled
form libraries are not being used.

| Richard,
O.K. !!!
Precompiling the forms library is the answer.
Thanks,
