Adding Control-D characters to PC files
|
|
The ADDCTRLD.BAT and CTRLD.PS files are included for users who want to write their own PostScript files. See Installing the utility files to locate the printer's utility files.
Note: If your computer is connected to the printer through the parallel port, or the optional
serial port, you need to have Control-D characters in your utility files or in the files you
create. However, if your computer is connected to a network such as NetWare or
TCP/IP, you should not add Control-D characters to a utility file.
The non-text Control-D character is required at the end of PostScript files sent to the printer's parallel port or optional serial port; it signals "end-of-job." A Control-D should precede and follow most PostScript data files. ADDCTRLD.BAT and CTRLD.PS help you add two Control-D characters to your files.
ADDCTRLD.BAT
ADDCTRLD.BAT is a batch file that adds a Control-D to the beginning and the end of a file. Use this file if you are creating your own PostScript files.
To use ADDCTRLD.BAT, copy ADDCTRLD.BAT and CTRLD.PS to the same directory on your hard disk. Type the following command:
ADDCTRLD filename
where filename is the name of the file that needs Control-D characters.
CTRLD.PS
CTRLD.PS contains some PostScript comments plus the Control-D character. Copy CTRLD.PS to the beginning and/or end of your PostScript files before you send them to the printer. (PostScript utility files on the Phaser 600 printer's CD-ROM already have Control-D characters at the beginning and end.) You can send CTRLD.PS to the printer by itself to make sure the printer is in the "end-of-job" condition.
