Using TinyTERM 3.2, when trying to print you may see “General error 1011” when TinyTERM is set to print to PRINTMNGR. If you print to DEVICE, you may get “Can’t append to LPT1:” instead.

When this happens, check for updates to your printer drivers. If one is not available, there is no other fix for these errors. We recommend you upgrade to a supported version of TinyTERM instead.

Using TinyTERM 3.2, you may get “Error #110 No Strings File,” followed by “Error #114 No Strings File.” This is a language error. Edit the .tap file you’re using; e.g., us.tap, using any text editor. Locate the line:

lang=HU

Change it to read:

lang=US

That will switch the base language from Hungarian to US English, fixing the errors.

This error may come up installing TERM on AIX. It happens when you install the wrong version. For example, on AIX 5.2 you should installing files from /termunix/i6/4.2, rather than the /termunix/ai files. Also, the serial number to use in that case is the one ending in I6.

Using TERM or TinyTERM over a serial connection, with the emulation set to ANSI, the display is OK, but the arrow keys don’t work. With the emulation set to VT100, the arrow keys work, but instead of lines, it displays the letter d repeatedly.

To solve both the arrow key and line draw problems, check to see if the UNIX tty port is set to a word length of 7. If it is, set the port for a word lengthy of 8, 1 stop bit and no parity. The host application is sending 8-bit sequences for the line draw characters. With these changes, VT100 emulation will work.

Using TERM Professional 3.3 on Windows NT, after installing NFS you can’t shut down Windows. Instead, you get a Dr. Watson error, followed by a blue screen.

To correct this error, you will need to download this patch. To use it, search the C: drive for the file mar_nfs.386. Rename any copy you find as a backup. Then copy the patch file into the same directory. The next time you start Windows NT, the patch will be in effect.

Using TinyTERM or TERM for DOS, the PC locks up when you send a print job. This will happen consistently if the printer is not ready for the job: offline, out of paper, powered down, etc. The only way to avoid this is to verify the printer is online and ready to print before sending a print job.

On Windows 95, 98 or Me, you can remove the Century Internet Services icon in the Systray by doing the following:

1. Right-click on Network Neighborhood.
2. Select Properties.
3. Select Century Internet Services.
4. Select Properties.
5. Click the Option tab.
6. Remove the check mark from “Start Internet services at Windows startup.”
7. Click on OK twice.

For Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP or Vista, go to Start | All Programs | Startup. Delete the CenLPDstatus.exe icon there.

In either case, the icon will be gone when you next start Windows.

Using a TinyTERM script to execute a file transfer, the transfer status dialog box may come up. Depending on how your script is written, this may pause or stop script execution entirely.

To prevent the dialog box from coming up, you can disable it with a script command. The TERM Script Language command is:

set xferstat off

For CScript, use the command:

FTSetXferStat(0);

Enter the appropriate command anywhere in the script before the file transfer starts.

Using Century LPR on Windows 95, 98 or Me, if you run into a problem with an LPR printer port, you may want to delete it. You won’t be abled to if there are spooled files waiting to print, or if the port is being used by Windows.

To solve this problem, first cancel all print jobs for the printer:

1. In LPR, select the printer window to make it active.
2. Select the Printer status tab.
3. Choose the Remote radio button.
4. Click “Remove all.”
5. Choose the Local radio button
6. Click “Remove all.”

NOTE: Clicking “Remove all” only cancels your own print jobs.

At this point you should be able to delete the port:

1. Select the printer screen or icon of the printer.
2. Open the File menu.
3. Delete the port.
4. If this does not work, run the following commands on the UNIX system:
   1. lpstat -t to list all print jobs for the printer.
   2. cancel xxx, where xxx is the print job number.

Using TinyTERM 3.3, you may get the error, “CTL3D32.DLL is not the correct version.” This most often happens after using TinyTERM successfully for a while.

If you have installed any new software, changed any configurations, or removed software, CTL3D32.DLL may have been replaced with an older version. In that case, do the following:

1. Open Windows Explorer or My Computer.
2. Open the Century folder.
3. Open the TERM Professional folder.
4. Open the wtt folder.
5. Locate the file CTL3D32.XXX in that directory.
6. Copy this file to C:\Windows\System.
7. If there is already a copy of CTL3D32.DLL in the C:\Windows\System folder, rename it as a backup.
8. Rename CTL3D32.XXX to CTL3D32.DLL.
