Printing

PostScript Mode Printing

Printing from Microsoft Windows

You can print from Microsoft Windows applications using FILE >

PRINT.

Be sure to use FILE > PAGE SETUP to setup or verify pertinent printing parameters such as paper size and ribbon type.

Also, check for consistency in parameter definitions from the PRINTER > PROPERTY menus when applicable for eliminating extra/error PostScript pages

When printing from TCP/IP, extraneous job control (end of job) characters that are automatically generated by PostScript applications, <Ctrl D>s, may cause extra pages to be printed along with an “Offending Command” PostScript error page. The printer may also process the job and then return to “READY” without printing.

This Ctrl D does not cause problems when using the parallel, IPX, or network AppleTalk printing. It does, however, cause jobs to be cancelled when they are serviced by a UNIX server.

Windows 3.x Systems

To eliminate the Ctrl Ds from PostScript output files on Windows 3.x systems, a C:\WINDOWS\WIN.INI file must be edited.

Within the C:\WINDOWS\WIN.INI file, search for any occurrences of Kodak printers and/or LPT ports that they may be associated with. A typical entry might look like the following:

[Kodak DS 8650 PS, LPT1]

After this line, add the following line:

CTRLD=0

Save the file, and try printing it again.

Windows 95 and Windows NT 3.51Systems

To eliminate the Ctrl Ds from PostScript output files on Windows 95 and Windows NT systems, use the Printer >Properties setup menus and select PostScript >Advanced features.Turn off the Ctrl Ds before and/or after job.
