   Note: Some text editors add a carriage return or line feed after the last Control-D character in a file you are editing. If your computer is connected to the printer through the parallel port, the extra characters will start a new job and the printer times out after a few minutes. To avoid this, copy the CTRLD.PS file to the printer after you send the PRNTNAME.PS file; see CTRLD.PS for more information on the CTRLD.PS file.
