Version Modified Points or Symptom Corrected
4.746 Symptom corrected:
1. Duplex IPDS jobs are printed simplex if the Printer is powered up while a tray is
open. Specifically, the tray that is open during power up must be the one
specified in the Duplex IPDS job.
2. Gray patterns consisting of hatching might not be shown in the printout. Instead
the gray pattern was just a black box.
3. If a host prematurely terminates an IPDS session with the Printer, subsequent
IPDS jobs cannot be printed. The data-in LED will just blink. Though any pre-
mature termination of an IPDS session could cause the problem, testing has
shown that the problem was most likely to occur if the IPDS session was
terminated mid-job.
4. The IPDS printing process does not terminate correctly. The device would then
stall if a job of another PDL was submitted.
4.744 Symptom corrected:
1. Any font that is not in CFF "Compact Font Format", will not be printed in IPDS
jobs.
2. If the machine jams while printing the IPDS font list, it can be made to stall by
either of the following operations:
- Try to print the IPDS font list again.
- Try to print any IPDS job.
Other changes:
The following functions are now supported.
