Printing Problems on an Okidata ML 380 Under Windows 3.1

ID: Q84260


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11


SYMPTOMS

When you print to the Okidata ML 380 from Microsoft Windows version 3.1, the printer stops on the last line printed and does not eject the page.


RESOLUTION

This is by design. The printer behaves similarly when you print from the MS- DOS command prompt.

If this behavior is not acceptable, you can use the Epson LQ-2550 emulation and the LQ-2550 printer driver. This causes the last page to eject after the last line is printed.


MORE INFORMATION

If an extra page is ejected after the print job is finished, make sure you have the correct Paper Feed option selected for your printer setup. If you have Tractor selected when you are using cut-sheet paper, an extra sheet is ejected after the print job is finished. To change the paper source:

  1. Run Control Panel.


  2. Select the Okidata printer driver you want to configure from the Installed Printers list box.


  3. Choose the Setup button.


  4. From the Paper Source list box, select the correct option for your printer configuration.


  5. Choose the OK button to save the changes.
