5.

Since you are sending the Þle to the printer via a serial or parallel
interface, you must add CTRL-D characters to the beginning and
end of the Þle. Use the script addctrld to do this.

a.

Change (cd) to the bin subdirectory in the directory where you
placed your printerÕs network utilities.

b.

To add CTRL-D characters to the beginning and end of a Þle,
type the following command:

addctrld

filename1.ps filename2.ps

where Þlename1.ps is the Þle you want to add CTRL-D
characters to, and Þlename2.ps is the revised Þle with a new
name. (Both Þlename1.ps and Þlename2.ps can have the same
name, but the original Þle will be overwritten by the revision.)

6.

Send the Þle with CTRL-DÕs named in Step 5b to the printer via
the commands tip or uc. If you need host-specific instructions,
see Appendix A for information on how to get them from the
Tektronix Information Server (via Internet) or HAL, the Tektronix
automated fax system.

7.

Reset the printer. For more information, see ÒResetting your
printerÓ on page 2-11.

Note

You can remove control characters from Þles using the script
delctrld

. Use this script in the same way as addctrld.
