My notes also show the we changed the name of the prtInputManualFeedTimeout
object to prtInputMediaLoadTimeout, but the name of the group remains
Input Switching Group.
I think we can also delete the phrase: which translates to 'this input
subunit doesn't support manual feed'" in the sentences:
The event which causes the printer to enter the waiting state is product
specific. A value of (-1) implies 'other' or 'infinite" which translates to
'this input subunit doesn't support manual feed'. A value of (-2)
implies 'unknown'.
I was unable to open either the August or the current draft, since I suspect
that it is WORD version 7.0 and I am running windows 6.0 on 3.11 windows.
I'm sorry that I was unable to submit the actual changes as agreed
in NYC. I hope that the above helps.
Randy,
If you could use SAVE AS and save the .doc as word version 6.0 then I could
make the changes (in this section only) and re-post this section separately.
Or you can make the edits.
