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
utility files.
N O T E
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.
