Area to Check

Explanation

 

 

Service Characteristics

Issue the Show Service Characteristics command. If

 

the service rating is zero, the parallel port is in use.

 

Verify that the PostScript characteristic and

 

appropriate protocols have been enabled on the

 

service.

 

 

Port Counters

If PostScript jobs appear to print but nothing comes

 

out of the printer, verify the amount of data sent from

 

the host. Issue the appropriate print command from the

 

host system. After the job has completed, use the

 

Show Port 1 Counters command.

 

 

Bitmap Graphics

If files that contain embedded bitmap graphics print incorrectly, it is because the bitmaps are being sent as actual binary data and binary data cannot be printed via serial or parallel interfaces.

Most major application packages have provisions to print using either “binary postscript” (for printers con- nected to the network via LocalTalk) or “hex postscript” (for printers connected to the network via a serial port or parallel port). If your application does not have this provision, ask the application vendor for an upgrade version or “patch” that will add the “hex postscript” function.
