Digi MIL-3000FTX - Manual (Page 135)

MIL-3000FTX Series of FastPort Print Servers E-4
E.2.2 PostScript Binary print
If the printer driver sends postscript binary print jobs and the printer
accepts PS binary, that FastPort has postscript binary enabled and the user
is attempting to use that printer port:
• Try printing with the LaserWriter driver. If neither 7.x or 8.x prints, try
using the one or the other.
When printing to a plotter:
• Select the HP/GL mode or a special driver supplied by the plotter’s
technical support department, which allows HP/GL mode and the
FastPort ports appear in the
Chooser .
E.2.3 Troubleshooting
When printing, the Ser LED or Par LED illuminates lights but nothing
prints, then repeat steps 7, 8, and 9 in section E.2. Make sure the modes are
compatible.
1. When printing to plotters on the parallel ports, where only the first file
prints during batch jobs, increase wait times to 60 seconds for “Before
Reset” and “After Reset.”
2. If printing PS, and the print job enters the printer’s memory, but does
not get pushed out: make sure the software is adding Control-D at the
end. This tells the printer when the print job has finished.

• Setup Defaults
• Setup Zone Name
