Erik is right. You have to create a dummy file and define it as the "setup
file" for the printer(s). Here's how:

(1) Create a file with one blank line. Nothing fancy, just go into EDITOR,
add a line and KEEP unnumbered.

(2) Edit NPCONFIG.PUB.SYS and add a line similar to:

    setup_file=x.x.x

    where x.x.x is the fully qualified name of the file you just created.

    This can be done in the global section or for the specifc printer(s),
depending on how you want things to work. We put it in the global section so
that the default would be "no escape sequences".

(3) For the change to take effect, you must do a :STOPSPOOL on the device(s)
followed by a :STARTSPOOL.

Hope this helps.

Take a look at NPCONFIG.PUB.SYS and see if you have a global or local
setup file defined. You probably need to define and empty setup-file to
prevent any setup from being sent. If there is no setup file defined,
then MPE sends a default setup. You can also use a FILE ;ENV=  to
override any setup files. See the Native Mode Spooler Reference Manual
