Acorn Communicator Filestore Manager's Guide

If FileStore was turned on before the printer, you will need to shut FileStore
down then start it up again, to make FileStore realise the printer is there.
Symptom: printer doublespaces all lines
The user should set the printer ignore character to 10, using the Configure
task.
Symptom: printer prints all on one line
The user should set the printer ignore character to 0, using the Configure
task.
Error messages FileStore can produce two main types of error message, corresponding to the
two types of error condition: 'fatal' errors and 'non-fatal' errors.
Fatal errors should only happen very rarely. They are not really fatal, just
serious enough to stop FileStore working temporarily. FileStore indicates a
fatal error by flashing its mode indicator about once a second, until you lift
the access flap and put it into maintenance mode. To see the error message,
which you will need to diagnose and cure the problem, use
the *REPORT command.
Non-fatal errors are more common, particularly when users are new to
FileStore and so more likely to make mistakes. They do not stop FileStore
working, but simply result from FileStore being asked to carry out a command
which it cannot perform. FileStore indicates a non-fatal error by displaying a
message on the screen of the user who typed the offending command.
Some of the non-fatal errors are described here as 'program' errors. These
occur when the user is using a program which has asked FileStore to do
something illegal. This is most likely with BASIC programs written by users.
If this is the case, they should check on their program, with help from the
BASIC User Guide. If this is not the case, contact the program supplier for
help.
Already a user
You've tried to create a new user with the same name as an existing user. Use
a different user name, or remove the old user.
Already open
A user has tried to open a file which is already in use, or delete a directory
that another user is in.
