Printing a trace file

You can print a trace file using the conprt utility as follows:

1.After capturing the trace and verifying its effects by using the “Execute trace” option from the Trace Mode pull-down list, open a Unix command tool.

2.Change the working directory by entering: cd /var/db

3.Process the trace file using the ipdeb utility by entering: ipdeb trace > trace_debug (for uncompressed files) or ipdeb trace.Z > trace_debug (for compressed files)

This creates the file trace_debug that will be an English rendition of the hex data.

Note: The ipdeb utility supplies default values for those parameters that are not supplied. The defaults are:

Paper size: USLetter (8.5 by 11-inch)

Resolution: -r 300

Directory: current directory.

To print a file from a directory other than the current directory, specify the directory as a separate field following the file name.

4.To print the trace file on a DocuPrint 92C IPS in duplex, enter: conprt -d trace_debug [/var/db]

where /var/db is the directory, and is optional.

Note: The conprt utility determines whether to specify mono or hilite for the -c option.

Note: If you are using a paper size other than USLetter (8.5 by 11-inch), specify the dimensions of the paper in pels by using the -x option. For example, for A4 paper on a DocuPrint 92C IPS enter:

conprt -d -x 3520x2480 trace_debug [/var/db]

Note: Do not use the conprt utility with large files because each page of a text file requires about 1 MB of disk space.
