I am wrestling with writing code to plot stuff on the HPIII using HPGL2. The problem is that I keep getting "overrun" messages. The manual says I should try using page protection to circumvent this problem. What is page protection and how is it invoked? John Ficken ehall@ux.acs.umn.edu

From page 22-12 of the LaserJet III Technical Reference Manual: "The Page Protection feature is available only if the printer contains at least 1-Mbyte of additional optional memory. If enabled, page protection reserves an amount of memory for the page image process, allowing the printer to create the entire page image (in memory) before physically moving the paper through the printer. This process ensures that the entire page will be printed. Page protection can be set for LTR (letter), A4, or LGL (legal) sized pages. Set page protection for the page size most often used." On page 22-16, it says that Page Protection mode is enabled from the control panel of the printer. This should be documented in your User's Manual that comes with the printer.
