Please can someone tell me how I can get the printer to prompt for manaul feed. I have down loaded the PDF file from Adobe and using this I tried statusdict begin /manualfeed true store end I get the FEED MANUAL prompt for a few seconds and then it goes away. I want the printer to wait for manual feed. -- regards trevor trevor@trevan.uucp

Set the default timeouts. statusdict begin 0 exitserver 30 60 30 setdefaulttimeouts sets the job timeout to 30 (the first param), the manual feed timout to 60 and the serial communication timout to 30 seconds. Experiment. Normall this is 0 60 30, so if the manualfeed is to short, change it to some larger number Cheers Woody

Experiment. >Normall this is 0 60 30, so if the manualfeed is to short, change it to I thought that the timeout on the manual feed was supposed to cause the page to be thrown away. Didn't he say that the printer printed it ??? Am I wrong, on 1 or both counts, or is this a 'feature' of the hp/adobe cartridge ? al -- Al.
