Adding Control-D characters to PC Þles
These Þles are included for users who want to write their own
PostScript Þles.
Note If your computer is connected to the printer through a parallel or
serial port, you need to have Control-D characters in your utility
Þles or in the Þles 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 Þle.
The non-text Control-D character is required at the end of PostScript Þles
sent to the printerÕs serial or parallel port; it signals Òend-of-job.Ó A
Control-D should precede and follow most PostScript data Þles.
ADDCTRLD.BAT and CTRLD.PS help you add two Control-D characters
to your Þles.
The ADDCTRLD.BAT and CTRLD.PS Þles are located in the PHSR220
directory on the Printer Utilities diskette.
ADDCTRLD.BAT
ADDCTRLD.BAT is a batch Þle that adds a Control-D to the beginning and
the end of a Þle. Use this Þle if you are creating your own PostScript Þles.
To use ADDCTRLD.BAT , copy ADDCTRL.BAT and CTRLD.PS to your
directory. Type the following command:
ADDCTRLD Þlename
where Þlename is the name of the Þle to which you want to add Control-Ds.
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 Þles before
you send them to the printer. (PostScript utility Þles on the Printer Utilities
diskette already have Control-D characters at the beginning and end.) You
can send
CTRLD.PS to the printer by itself to make sure that the printer is in
the Òend of jobÓ condition.
