On the first mainframe system I worked with in the mid 80's we had to prevent anyone from entering lower case letters into the IMS data bases because the chain printer only printed upper case letters. If it encountered a lower case letter it left a blank. God forbid someone forgot to do that when we created a new screen for data entry. We had to change the screen edits to allow lower case when we finally got a chain that could print both upper and lower case. I remember how excited everyone was that we could now print in mixed case. The first laser I worked with was a Xerox that was huge, like the size of two desks stacked one on top of another. We were then able to print on regular 8.5x11 paper, but we got complaints from accounting about it not being green bar. I had to program the Xerox (it had its own language) to print gray shaded bars like the green bar pin fed paper from the chain printer. The computer operators were excited that we could insert a colored sheet of paper for each new report and even multiple copies to make it easier for them to route reports to the correct departments. No more running pin fed paper through bursting machines and breaking apart reports.
