hp2055 overlay/micr printing issue

["tim" <tim.dclinc@xxxxxxxxx>]

I added an HP2055dn to our iseries to print checks. The device is configured
as follows:

 

CRTDEVPRT DEVD(HP2055230) DEVCLS(*LAN) TYPE(3812) MODEL(1) +          

         LANATTACH(*IP) PORT(9100) ATTACH(*DIRECT) ONLINE(*YES) +     

         FONT(011 *NONE) FORMFEED(*AUTOCUT) SEPDRAWER(*FILE) +        

         PRTERRMSG(*INQ) MSGQ(*CTLD) ACTTMR(170) INACTTMR(*SEC15) +   

         LINESPEED(19200) WORDLEN(8) PARITY(*NONE) STOPBITS(1) +      

         TRANSFORM(*YES) MFRTYPMDL(*HP4000) PPRSRC1(*LETTER) +        

         PPRSRC2(*NONE) ENVELOPE(*NONE) ASCII899(*YES) +              

         IMGCFG(*IMGA02) CHRID(*SYSVAL) RMTLOCNAME('192.168.0.230') + 

         SYSDRVPGM(*HPPJLDRV) TEXT('HP Laserjet P2055dn .230') +      

         PUBLISHINF(*UNKNOWN *UNKNOWN *UNKNOWN *UNKNOWN *BLANK +      

         (*UNKNOWN))                                                  

 

The external printer file uses both a fntchrset for the micr font along with
an overlay for headings and such (no logos). 

 

Prior to printing I issue:

CHGPRTF    FILE(APCHKPRTP) FRONTOVL(APLIB/APCHKOVL *SAME *SAME)
OUTQ(HP2055230) hold(*yes)

 

I am having 2 problems. The first being that the printer pauses after
printing X number of pages. The spool file has 12 pages, it printed 2 then
paused, then 3 more and paused, etc.

 

The second problem is that when it first starts printing, I get a CPA403D
(Operator action required on device HP2055230 (C R)) message in which I
respond with an "R". When the checks print, it doesn't print the micr font.
It prints the raw data (C999391C A990091998A 99009998C). If I then try to
reprint from the same spool file, it prints correctly.

 

Can anyone shed some light on either of these issues?
