[mod.computers.laser-printers] Another Apple LaserWriter query

cpc@AMES-NAS.ARPA (Chuck Collins) (11/20/85)

Can anyone explain to me why our Apple LaserWriter occasionally seems
to loose track of a font? I'm just starting to look into this, but
a job might go awry, and from that point on, all jobs that follow
get Courier instead of, say, Helvetica Italics. The only fix I
know is to power it down.

I've looked through the documentation, and other than ^D (which
I've made sure precedes every new job), there doesn't seem to be
an initialization sequence.

When I called Apple, they sent me to Businessland, and the guy
an Businessland started talking about patches to a BASIC program.
Adobe tried to be helpful, but started suggesting hardware problems.
I hope this is a common problem. How do I initialize the LaserWriter?
