Printer Control (PostScript)
 
 
 

Printer controls specify the codes to send to the plotter.

Send ^D at End of Plot

Sends a ^D code to the printer when the plot is completed. Select this option if you are using a communication channel that uses Adobe Standard Protocol. If you are porting to another platform, remove this code; otherwise, you receive an error message when printing the file.

You probably need a ^D code to avoid a time-out error if you are plotting to a network PostScript plotter. You also need a ^D if you are plotting to a locally connected PostScript plotter through the Windows Print Manager spooler (because of a conflict with a Windows system printer).

Send ^Z at End of Plot

Sends a ^Z code to the printer when the plot is completed. Some PostScript plotters require a ^Z at the end of the file.

Send PostScript Error Handler to Plotter

Sends an error message to the plotter. The error message prints after the plot and describes the error that occurred.

Tokenize PostScript Code

Converts PostScript code to a shorter binary sequence, compressing the output file significantly. If you are having problems using the PostScript driver, try clearing this option.
