329.0. "Documentation got scrambled" by CYCLPS::CARRIG () Fri May 01 1987 14:22

The documentation set for version 1.0 that I copied over the net
got a bit scrambled. Generally, it seems that .LN3 files are not always
100% transportable.

Can you make the .GNC files available, or send me a
set of documentation for our site? There are over 40 people here who
need clean copies of the user documentation.

Thanks.

329.1Do you mean when you printed them?COOKIE::JOHNSTONFri May 01 1987 17:257
By "scrambled", do you mean that when you printed the files on the LN03 
you noticed dropped characters, 30% of a single page missing, etc?  If 
so, you may only need to specify /PASSALL/NOFEED when you print the 
files to correct the problem (assuming you didn't already try this).

329.2still scrambledCYCLPS::CARRIGMon May 04 1987 15:347
Thanks for your reply.

We printed the files using /NOFEED/PASSALL , and "scrambled" text
(as you descibe).

Which leads us to the conclusion that the files were corrupted in
transmission over the net.

        I had a similar problem.  In the User's Guide, everywhere
        an actual tag example is used or a tag is reference in text,
        I got blank space. Sorta like this:
        
        "If aligned characters are required in an example the   
        and            tags must occur outside the example."
        
        Makes it kinda tough to figure out the example!

I won't swear to this, but I think that the order of the print 
qualifiers is important in this case; if I am wrong, someone 
knowledgable should quickly correct me!  So, I think that the syntax 
must be /PASSALL/NOFEED, and not as you showed in .2.


Still trying to be helpful,

Rose

    The order of the qualifiers is not important.
329.6look for the RAMsVAXUUM::DEVRIESThose are features, not bugsTue May 05 1987 14:558
    Another suggestion:  Check that your LN03 has TWO RAM cartridges
    inserted into it -- not ROMs for specific fonts, but RAMs.
    
    These hold the down-loaded fonts used by DOCUMENT.  If they are
    not present, some of the fonts get thrown away in the printer 
    and you get blank space where they would appear.

329.7User's Guide part ICYCLPS::CARRIGThu May 07 1987 10:4214
Thanks for your suggestion, but our setup here is OK.

I recopied the documentation and am still getting blank spaces and
problems with angle brackets and angle-bracketed information.

Also, this situation occurs only with USERSGUIDE_PART1.LN3.
The other volumes are printing OK.

So again, can any one send me a clean copy of the User's Guide, Part I?
Doesn't anyone else have this problem? I have a feeling that either
the original file is corrupted, or that the file is being corrupted in
transferring over the network.

Thanks again.
329.8Font's dont fitCHAMBR::GUINEAUThu May 07 1987 17:588



 I had the same problem. It's the LN03's memory supply. Put TWO LN03-CR
(or whatever) in and part I prints fine.

329.9GentleRAMs, be seated.VAXUUM::DEVRIESThose are features, not bugsFri May 08 1987 10:2614
    Incidentally, when you insert the RAM cartridges, be sure they are
    firmly seated.
    
    We had an LN03 here that was dropping fonts, yet had two RAM
    carts in its mouth.  When I pushed the TEST button on the back of
    the printer (it's marked with "T" in a circle) the test page reported
    NO cartridges loaded.
    
    We seated the RAMs firmly and pressed the test button again, and
    it reported the presence of both cartridges.  And things ran fine
    after that.

    BTW, you need hardware revision level 4.4 on your LN03 (check the
    upper right corner of your test page (produced as in .9), it should
    say DEC004.4).
