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-Dat the end. This tells the printer when the print job has finished.
