This kind of output happens only with Unix text jobs if carriage return insertion is not incorporated into the print setup. The printer may be told to do a linefeed, but the Unix job does not specify anything about a carriage return to follow this. To fix this, carriage return insertion must be enabled somewhere in the print setup. The easiest and most common location is on the Ethernet Interface itself within the appropriate model. The feature is called "onlcr" and the command syntax is: set model modelname stty onlcr save For example, if printing to the destination, d1prn, the associated model is m1. Therefore, the command is: set model m1 stty onlcr save 124
