Modified Points or Symptom Corrected
1.06
Symptom corrected:
1. PCL5e/c jobs are canceled if all of the following conditions are met:
The job specifies that a custom paper size by drawn from the bypass tray.
-"User Tools/Counter > System Settings > Tray Paper Settings > Printer
Bypass Paper Size" is something other than "Custom size"
2. If a PCL6 job is printed to a shift tray immediately following a PCL5 job,
each page of the PCL6 job will be shifted instead of each job or copy being
shifted.
Note: This problem was reported most often in cases where a PCL6 job is
printed with the Windows PCL5 Separator page (PCL.sep).
3. When a page object is superimposed over top of another, the overlapping
portions of the objects might be printed in black even if they were not black
objects.
4. PCL XL error resulting in jobs being cancelled occurring under a very
specific set of circumstances.
5. A macro that is only supposed to be printed on the first page of a job, might
also be printed on subsequent pages.
6. A device stall might occur if using a very specific combination of font
types.
