[net.micro.cbm] Problem w/ Paperclip 64

slindahl@udenva.UUCP (Steve J. Lindahl) (04/17/86)

     I currently have the Paperclip 64 text processor, a Cardco B Interface, and
a Kaypro Juki 6100 printer.  In using this combination of hardware and software,
I find that the printer produces some garbled characters with the following
condition.

     Everytime that I want to footnote a quote, I enter the escape sequence for
a superscript which is escape and #.  Superscripting works perfectly in all
cases except when it must print a footnote after a quote.  Instead of getting
a superscripte, I get garbled characters like 

          $27[D1-$27[U

     If anyone knows what the problem may be, I would appreciate it.  I believe
that the problem may lie in the printer driver file...

*** LET THE LINE EATER HAVE THIS LINE ***

     What it sounds like to me is something similar to what I've encountered.
I'm using a Xetex Super Graphics interface, and I get something similar
following quotes.
I suspect that the problem involves the interface attempting to
simulate Commodore's "quote mode".  The Xetec card has some command-channel 
options which are documented as "disabling listings", which I *think* turns
off quote mode, but using this command does odd things to my printer, so
I'm not sure what to make of it.
