7200.0. "DEClaser 5100 (LN09) Postscript error report" by LOW8::AHO (How about some SMOKED SKEET?) Wed May 14 1997 11:05


	I've check the notes in this file but haven't seen any error 
	similar to my user:

	Anytime they print (any type of document) to an LN09 
	with a NIC they get the following:

	I tried lowering the baud rate to 9600 from 19200 to no avail.

				Thanks in advance,

The common cause is that someone is feeding a text document to the PostScript interpreter.

If you see this problem only on NIC-connected jobs, it is because the default interpreter (PostScript vs. PCL, with or without automatic protocol identification) can be different for each communication port (network, serial, parallel). - tom]

This says that the purported command "Reply" is undefined.
It's just a normal PostScript error.
The common cause is that someone is feeding a text document to the 
PostScript interpreter.  I'd bet that the first word of the attempted print
job is the word "Reply" (as in "Reply to me about this matter ASAP."),
or there is a header file that fits that criterion.

If you see this problem only on NIC-connected jobs, it is because the 
default interpreter (PostScript vs. PCL, with or without automatic 
protocol identification) can be different for each communication 
port (network, serial, parallel).
