Re: Weirdness when printing from a 3489 to a LaserJet

[Pat Barber <mboceanside@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The setup on the 3489 "should" be something along the lines
of 3812-SCS as the printer emulation. You should be
selecting HP LaserJet III as the model.

The rest of the setting should be factory default in most
cases. People tend to "play" with those setting and then
wonder why they are getting strange results.

If you are NOT familar with HPT, then you are not using it
I suspect.

You tend to get different results with HPT and certain
functions are available using HPT that are not using
3489 emulation. In 99% of the time, 3489 emulation works
just fine and does ALL the stuff you need or want.

What does the 3489 printer DEVD appear to be as far as printer
type ???

Look in the DEVD at the parm HOST PRINT TRANSFORM to determine
if you are using HPT.

Has this printer ever been 100% in it's current setting ????
