Printing to an Encapsulated PostScript file in the PostScript mode

The steps for printing to file with the PostScript mode are basically the same as the Windows Direct (GDI mode). There are, however, some minor differences in the way you create an Encapsulated PostScript file for use with the Star WinType Print Man- ager. The following steps use "Write" as an example.

Steps:

1.After you have created a document, you can save your document in the normal way you would for any application.

2.Click on the Print command from the file menu of your application.

3.Click on the Setup button.

4.Click on the Star WinType 4000 PostScript on WTPS to select the PostScript mode.

5.Click on the Setup button in the Print Setup Screen.

6.Click on the Options button

7.Click on Encapsulated PostScript File in the Print To section of the Options dialog box.

8.Give your file a name (no longer than 8 characters) followed by ".PS"

9.Follow Steps 8 – 16 on pages 52 - 53.
