[Ql-Users] More Help Please
Hi there, In an effort to change a few things in my boot file in QPC2, I have run into a very large number of problems. Firstly I have SMSQR dated 2003 and 65K bytes. My boot file working perfectly well until I disturbed it. SMSQE was in the boot file but now it does not find either SMSQE or SMSQR. I have REMarked it out at the moment. Will this give me any problems? In addition, I have been having problems with IPCEXTUK which is in line 180. The calls are in line 200 and are shewn in the screen shot to have the wrong parameters. These parameters did work but what please should I do next? TIA & Regards, Peter p.s. I have a nasty feeling that these problems may well continue but I will have to try and deal with them one at a time. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ___ QL-Users Mailing List

[Ql-Users] QPC2 and Win 8
Hi there, I seem to be having terrible problem with QPC2 and Win 8 and 8.1. When I start QPC2, it always starts with the splash screen that you can avoid by ticking the box in the bottom left corner. In my case even if the box is ticked the splash screen cannot be avoided. I have now tried to transfer QXL.win and QXL2.win back to a Windows 7 machine and have failed. The dates on the QXL files are 25 October 2014 even though there are files dated July 2015 within the files. Once transfered, all the files later than October 2014 get juncked. Has anyone else had these problems? Unfortuantely, I cannot remember how to increase the size of the QXL files because I have run out of space in QXL.win Can anyone help please?

Re: [Ql-Users] PCL-3
Dilwyn, Do you have the PCL3 codes to initiate the printer the way you want it? Such as reset, landscape, font, print spacing , etc. Then end the printing session with another reset which sets the printer back to where it should be and includes a form feed to make sure that the page is printed. Put these in the preamble and postamble and this should solve all your problems.

Re: [Ql-Users] PCL-3
Dilwyn, Did the printer need a CD to install it or did it, upon attaching to your computer, install itself. If the latter, then it definitely has PCL drivers. In QPC2 setup there is a section on printers. Select the HP printer to the port that you want to use and then set the printer drivers to also work to the same port. After that, if you are using, for instance, Text 87 make sure that 'para' or 'para2' is used which will connect through to the parallel port you have selected in the QPC2 Setup. I hope that this makes sense, Best Wishes, Peter Fox In article <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Dilwyn Jones) wrote: > *From:* "Dilwyn Jones" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > *To:* "QL-Users list" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > *Date:* Tue, 14 Oct 2008 17:37:14 +0100 > > >> Hmm...makes me wonder how a simple close from an unknown OS (by the > >> printer's view) could change it's state. > > > > Opening/closing the SMSQ/E channel is of course also opening/closing > > the physical ports or virtual printer queues.

Re: [ql-users] Compact Flash IDE adaptors
Neil, I did say that the Qubide needs soldering. I will send you the jpeg privately but if anyone else wants it please let me know. This 'modification' comes from Croatia and is from the same source as he who designed the Qubide interface. It will be obvious that unless the Mod is done, the C/F adapters do not work. I know, I have tried because I have two Qubides and at one stage one was modified and one was not and I was trying to use the wrong one.

Re: [ql-users] Curious behaviour of Boot Program
Quite right and apologies.
I am running this on QPC2, my Aurora machine does not give this problem.
Incidentally, I have found that Abacus does work with 9Mb of memory but
that is because I am only using 16MB total.
The only program I use extensively is Archive because I have a program
that prints envelopes (A4, A5 and DL) on an Epson 740. I found that it
would have been useful to count days which abacus does which is how I
found the problem.
Many thanks
Peter

Re: [ql-users] Curious behaviour of Boot Program
I am using 2.53 and am using the pointer environment commands including
those which limit memory. The commands I am using are:
ERT HOT_LOAD ('a','ABACUS' ,p, 120)
ERT HOT_LOAD ('b','ARCHIVE' ,p,100)
ERT HOT_LOAD ('c','QUILL' , p, 100)

Re: [ql-users] Curious behaviour of Boot Program
It just says ERROR press space to continue. Above the 'error' it has 32 but what that means is not clear. If you press space nothing happens so off to jobs to clear it.

[ql-users] Curious behaviour of Boot Program
Hi there, I have three Psion Programs set up as ALT a for Abacus, ALT b for Archive, and ALT c for Quill. I have found that if I start with loading Abacus, it loads with an error. On the other hand, if I start with either of the to her two and then load Abacus, it loads properly. After the failed load, removing the job through QPAC2 and jobs shews that not only has Abacus loaded but there are two to her files there called 'ANON' which are removed by removing Abacus. I am using ERT HOT_LOAD for all three calls. Can anyone shed any light on this, please? Regards Peter Fox ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
