RE: [sqr-users] Check Stub Printing SQR

["Beller, Jay" <jbeller@lbisoftware.com>]

Tracy,

It may have nothing to do with SQR or PeopleSoft.

When you print from Windows to your HP Laser, it sends everything the laser 
needs for perfectly matching your font.

When not using Windows, it's not always perfect.  The application sends the 
font characteristics that it's looking to match. For example, a 10 point 
sans-serif italicized font in the Arial family.  When the printer receives this 
font selection sequence it performs a "CLOSEST MATCH".

In other words, if the font selection being made for your Check Stubs can NOT 
be matched exactly, your laser is going to try to come close.  In this case, it 
sounds like it's close on everything except the Character Set -- sounds like 
it's using symbol character set.

See if the Lasers have a "Font Report" available from their control panel.  If 
they do, compare the 8150's report to one of the other Lasers and see where 
they differ.

If the output could be dumped to a file, you could parse out the escape 
sequences for the font selection and then figure out exactly why it's not 
matching.  Not sure whether it's that critical.

Subject: [sqr-users] Check Stub Printing SQR



I have been working with SQR's for approximately 2 years, since our company 
started using ADP (Automatic Data Processing) as our HRIS system.  The software 
is based off of Peoplesoft. We recently did an upgrade and for some reason our 
check stub printing program is printing correctly on all HP printers except at 
one of our locations.  I haven't had any other issues except for the one 
location who has an HP Laserjet 8150 - the check stub prints all symbols for 
all the wording on the stub, but the numbers print out fine.  I have tried to 
replicate the problem printing on the HP  Laserjet printers at my location (HP 
8100's) and don't have any issues.  I had the location set their printer to the 
Factory Default font to make sure no issues were on that side.  Can anyone 
think of any reason why the output prints differently on similar HP printers?

Thank you for any assistance,

Tracy
