Apple 12/600PS manual Sending PostScript files to the printer, Dialog box appears

As long as you leave the configuration switch on the printer in the right-hand position, the printer uses these settings. If for any reason you need to return to the original, standard settings, flip the switch back to the left-hand position and restart the printer. Then, after the printer has powered up, return the switch to the right-hand position.

Sending PostScript files to the printer

You can download PostScript files to the printer to print a PostScript program or Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file, or to run a PostScript program to change the printer’s internal settings. You can create a PostScript file in a variety of text-editing programs or by printing any document to a file.

1In the Apple Printer Utility program, choose Send PostScript File from the File menu.

A dialog box appears.

2In the Send File dialog box, select the PostScript file you want to send to the printer.

3Click Send.

Restarting the printer

If you have any problems printing, you may need to restart the printer to clear its memory.

1Choose Restart Printer from the Utilities menu.

If you have changes you haven’t sent to the printer, a dialog box appears, asking whether you want to send the changes now.

2To confirm that you want to restart the printer, click Restart.

When the printer lights stop blinking, the printer is ready to print.

You can achieve the same effect by turning the printer off and then on again.

IMPORTANT If the printer is on a network shared by other users, make sure no one is attempting to use the printer before you restart it. Any print jobs that are canceled must be resubmitted.
