four colors have been printed (CMYK).

PostScript Printing

Introduction This chapter provides instructions on how to setup

and use your digital duplicator for printing PostScript files. It includes information about:

q PostScript Language

« PostScript Printer Drivers « Memory Requirements

q Typefaces q Troubleshooting q Generating a List of PostScript 3 Fonts Stored In

Your Controller

q Related Documentation

PostScript Language The controller contains genuine PostScript Level 3

software from Adobe, which is backward compatible with earlier versions of PostScript software.

PostScript Printer

Drivers To use software applications which support

PostScript, you must select a PostScript language printer driver from within your application. For best results, use the driver/PPD for your digital duplicator installed during the Configuration Utility software setup (see Chapter 2, Using Your Controller in the Controller User’s Guide).

If, for some reason, that driver is not available (for example, if you are using a version of Windows earlier than Windows 95), you may use one of the standard drivers that came with your operating system or software, such as:

1. Apple LaserWriter II NT/NTX

2. HP LaserJet 4

3. Generic PostScript If your software does not offer a PostScript language

printer driver selection, it may not support PostScript printing. For more information, see your software documentation or contact your software vendor.

Note A file printed using the PostScript language may print

differently than in other printer languages because the characters and spacing in your Adobe fonts may differ. Differences that exist between PostScript drivers can also cause this to happen.

Memory Requirements The standard amount of memory which comes with

your controller is sufficient to handle the requirements for PostScript printing.

Typefaces The PostScript 3 language contains 136 scalable

typefaces drawn from 40 typeface families, all licensed from Adobe Systems, Inc. Many more additional typefaces compatible with your controller are available from the Adobe Type Library. These typefaces can be purchased and used with your digital duplicator.

Since PostScript typefaces require software support, check your software documentation for information about using PostScript typefaces.

Note You should not use PostScript typefaces in

combination with PCL typefaces resident in your controller or with other typefaces supported by PCL, in the same document. Language switching allows you to use either PostScript or PCL-supported type, but not both simultaneously.

If you send a document with both PCL and PostScript fonts, the controller will pick a printer language – either PCL or PostScript – print the fonts native to it, and interpret the others. Thus some fonts may not print as expected.

For more information on Adobe typefaces available for your software, point your Internet web browser to:

http://www.adobe.com

Troubleshooting For general troubleshooting, see Troubleshooting in

Chapter 7, of the Controller User’s Guide. The items in Table 2-4.1 are PostScript language-specific and may occur particularly in multiple printer language and shared printer environments.

Table 2-4.1. PostScript Troubleshooting

Condition Recommended Action

A text listing of PostScript commands prints instead of your PostScript printing job.

The job prints in Courier (the printer’s default typeface) instead of the typeface you requested.

A PostScript error page prints. Make sure the print job is a PostScript job. Check

A page set for bleed-off printing is missing any print on the first part of the leading edge of the paper.

A non-standard PostScript interpreter character may have confused the controller.

• If you are in DOS, send the control command

to put the printer into PostScript mode and resend the print job.

• If you are in Windows, make sure you are

using the correct custom printer driver, and resend the print job.

The requested typeface is not resident in the controller. Download the desired font.

to see if your software expected you to send setup or PostScript header files to the printer. Make whatever corrections are necessary and re-send the print job to the digital duplicator.

Due to the nature of the technology in the digital duplicator used to pick/pull the paper through the machine, the first 5 mm of the page (leading edge, or the first edge into the machine) will not have any printing on it. However, bleed-off printing may be doe all the way to the other three paper edges.

You are operating in DOS, and your computer displays:

Writing to LPTn: Abort, Retry, Ignore?

Try setting infinite timeouts on your computer. See your MS-DOS manual for information about the Mode command.

Generating a List of PostScript 3 Fonts Stored In Your Controller A list of PostScript 3 fonts available in your

controller for PostScript print jobs may be printed on the digital duplicator using the Diagnostic Page report. This list includes only permanent fonts stored in the controller’s ROM.

To print a list of the controller’s PostScript 3 fonts on the digital duplicator, perform the following steps:

1. Start the Configuration Utility program.

2. Under Reports, select Diagnostic Page, and

click on the button.

The digital duplicator will print the Diagnostic Page report (which is the same as the Diagnostic Test Page, obtained by pressing the Diagnostic Test Page button on the rear of the controller chassis), which includes the list of all PostScript 3 fonts in the controller’s permanent font memory.

Caution Generating this printout deletes all temporary soft

fonts (the fonts your software has downloaded for a

specific document). Because of this, temporary soft fonts do not appear on the report.

Intellifont and TrueType In your controller, the Intellifont and TrueType font

scaling technologies both run under PLC-5e, giving you rapid font scaling inside the controller itself.

Intellifont Intellifont is a font scaling technology developed by

the AGFA division of Miles Inc. It is used on many scalable printers, including the digital duplicator controller. Most software packages support them, including Microsoft Windows and Corel WordPerfect applications.

TrueType TrueType is a font scaling technology developed by

the Microsoft Corporation and Apple Computer, Inc. Your controller has 14 internal typefaces that match the TrueType typefaces included with Microsoft Windows. This enhances Windows’ printing performance and quality, because Windows applications do not have to download these typefaces to the controller.

Note You can access both Intellifont and TrueType type

scaling technologies through Microsoft Windows and other applications.

Symbol Sets A “symbol set” or “character set” (see Figure 3-3.3) is

a collection of letters, numbers, and symbols designed for specific applications such as scientific equations, legal citations, and international languages.

Figure 3-3.3. Roman-8 and PC-8 Symbol Sets

Selecting a Symbol Set

Selecting the active symbol set for your printer is done using the Configuration Utility program.

Figure 3-3.4. Selecting the controller’s active

symbol set.

Figure 3-3.4 shows the area of the Configuration Utility screen where you may change the active symbol set used by the controller. Simply use the right arrow to pull down the screen, use the bar to the right of the list to scroll to the desired symbol set, and click on it. The symbol set will remain active until another is selected using this screen.

Note See Appendix D, PCL Symbol Set Tables, in the

Controller Reference Manual, for details as to the symbol sets supported by the controller.

Software Symbol Set Availability

There are two things you should know about symbol set availability:

1. Your software may support all of your

controller’s symbol sets, or just a few of them. Refer to your software documentation for more information on what symbol sets, character sets, or code pages it supports.

2. Typefaces are designed to work with specific

symbol sets. For example, the Arial typeface design does not include characters to support the Math-8 symbol set.

Refer to Appendix D, PCL Symbol Sets, in this manual to see which symbol sets work with the typefaces you are using.

Entering Symbols into Text

If you want to print a symbol such as infinity ( ∞ ), you must first select the symbol set that contains that character.

For example, the ∞ sign is character #236 in the PC-8 symbol set (see Appendix D, PCL Symbol Sets).

Your software documentation will contain instructions for entering special symbols into your text. Look in the software documentation’s index for phrases such as “compose feature”, “composite characters,” “symbol sets,” “character sets,” “code pages,” or “extended characters.”

Selecting font features

using PCL codes If you are writing programs or using software that

requires you to enter PCL codes to select fonts or font characteristics, you can find the PCL codes for selecting fonts in any typeface reference guide. Also, refer to the items listed in the Related Documentation section of this chapter.

Selecting Fonts Fonts are selected through the software you are using.

Look in your software documentation for topics such as “font selection,” “base font,” “printer setup,” “print options’” “font appearance’” “change font,” or “select type.”

Default Font The default PCL font in the printer is 10 pitch

Courier with the Roman-8 symbol set. The printer

uses this font unless your software sends (or you manually send) a printer font selection command to request a font in place of the default.

Font Selection Priority In PCL mode, if both a scalable typeface and a

bitmapped typeface are available from the same source, the selection criteria applied depends upon the dpi print resolution of the digital duplicator:

1. For 600 dpi digital duplicators: a. 600 dpi bitmapped font b. scalable font c. 300 dpi bitmapped font

2. For 400 dpi digital duplicators: a. 400 dpi bitmapped font b. scalable font c. 300 dpi bitmapped font

3. For 300 dpi digital duplicators: a. 300 dpi bitmapped font

b. scalable font

Generating a List of PCL-5e Fonts Stored In Your Controller The PCL Test Page report lists the typefaces and

bitmapped fonts currently available in your controller for PCL print jobs. This list includes only permanent fonts stored in the controller’s ROM.

Note See Chapter 2, PostScript Printing, for instructions on

printing a list of PostScript typefaces.

To print a list of the controller’s PCL fonts on the digital duplicator, perform the following steps:

3. Start the Configuration Utility program.

4. Under Reports, select PCL Test Page, and click on the button.

The digital duplicator will print a list of all PCL fonts in the controller’s permanent font memory.

Caution Generating this printout deletes all temporary soft

fonts (the fonts your software has downloaded for a

specific document). Because of this, temporary soft fonts do not appear on the report.

Upgrading Controller Memory

Introduction This appendix covers:

q Memory (SIMM) Board Installation. q Testing a Memory Upgrade. q Troubleshooting a Memory Upgrade.

The controller has two SIMM (Single In-line Memory Module) slots. Use them to install additional printer memory. The controller may have up to 256 Mbytes of memory installed.

To be sure of compatibility with your controller, purchase SIMM boards from the authorized supplier of supplies and options for your model of controller.

Caution Unauthorized installation or upgrading of memory

will void your warranty.

If you have any questions, call your local sales or service representative for the digital duplicator or controller.

Memory (SIMM) Board Installation Follow these instructions to install memory SIMM

boards. Always install SIMM boards in the same manner.

Note The following general guidelines apply to installing

memory in the controller.

1) The controller must have at least the minimum/

standard amount of memory installed, as specified under the Printer Features section of the Controller User’s Guide in order to function correctly.

2) The controller must have a SIMM board installed

in slot 1.

Outline for Memory Upgrades

1. Remove any existing/already installed SIMMs.

2. Install existing and new SIMMs per the SIMM-slot placement rules.

SIMM-slot placement rules.

Case 1 – After removing any existing SIMM(s), a total of one SIMM is to be installed.

This situation would occur if, for example, you were to replace a partially- or non-functioning SIMM with a new one. In this situation, simply substitute a new SIMM for the existing one, using only slot 1. The new SIMM must meet or exceed the minimum memory requirements for your controller. For the sake of future upgrade compatibility, if the new SIMM is of the single-sided configuration (see figure B-1.1), it should have a PD (Presence Detect) jumper installed.

Case 2 – After removing any existing SIMM(s), two SIMMs are to be installed, at least one of which is a double-sided SIMM (see figure B-1.2).

In this configuration, the double-sided SIMM board must be installed into slot 1. This is regardless of respective memory sizes of the SIMM boards – the double-sided board always goes into slot 1. If both SIMMs are double-sided, it does not matter which one goes into which slot.

Case 3 – After removing any existing SIMM(s), two single-sided SIMMs are to be installed (see figures B-1.1).

This configuration could occur if, for example, you wanted to simply add a second SIMM to the controller’s factory-shipped configuration. In this case, the single-sided SIMM to be installed into slot 2 must have a PD jumper installed.

Unsupported Memory Configurations

Memory configurations not listed under the rules above are not supported, or will not yield the correct amount of memory for the controller. This includes any combination of boards which:

1) Does not yield the minimum amount of memory

needed by the controller.

2) Utilizes 1 or 2 Mbyte SIMMs.

3) Utilizes a single-sided SIMM in slot 2 that does

not have a PD jumper installed.

If you believe your memory configuration is supported, but it is not yielding the correct amount of memory, see the section on Troubleshooting a Memory Upgrade located at the end of this Appendix.

Figure B-1.1 shows an example of a single-sided SIMM board with a PD jumper installed. The jumper, shown in the second (PD2) position, may be in any of the four possible positions shown in the diagram.

Figure B-1.1. Example of a single-sided

SIMM with one PD jumper installed.

Figure B-1.2 shows an example of a double-sided SIMM board, where the memory chips are attached to both sides of the SIMM board.

Figure B-1.2. Example of a double-sided

SIMM.

Note All memory boards used in upgrading the memory

configuration of the controller must adhere to the JEDEC standards for 72-pin SIMMs. Single-sided

SIMMs placed in slot 2 must have at least one of the Presence Detect jumpers in place: PD1, PD2, PD3, or PD4.

For more information, locate JEDEC Standard No. 21-C, pp. 4.4.2-1 through 4.4.2-16. A copy of these pages may be obtained by searching the following web site:

http://www.jedec.org.

Table B-1.1 is provided as a guide when upgrading memory.

It is recommended that memory be upgraded only in the configurations shown.

Protecting the SIMM

Board SIMM boards can be easily damaged by small

amounts of static electricity. To remove any static electricity from your body:

F Touch the surface of the antistatic package before

removing the board from its package. When handling the board, frequently touch bare metal on the printer or the antistatic bag or wear an antistatic wrist strap.

F Avoid moving about the work area to prevent

generating static electricity.

F Handle the board carefully at all times. Avoid

flexing it or touching its components.

Caution When removing a board from the antistatic package,

avoid touching the metal traces on the SIMM board through handling only by the edges.

Installation The following section describes procedures to remove

the controller’s top cover and insert a SIMM board.

Warning Hazardous voltages are present in the printer

controller. Never remove any cover or work near exposed electrical parts while the power cord is connected.

Accessing the SIMM Slots.

1. Switch the controller OFF

2. Unplug the power cord from the controller.

3. Position the controller so the right side is facing

you.

4. Place the antistatic bag containing the SIMM

board(s) near the controller.

5. Use a Phillips #2 screwdriver to remove the four

screws holding the top cover to the chassis.

Figure B-1.3. Removing top cover hold-down

screws.

6. Remove the top cover from the chassis.

Figure B-1.4. Removing top cover.

7. Locate the memory SIMM memory slots. Note

the location of slot 1. If only one SIMM is present, it is always located in slot 1.

Figure B-1.5. Locating SIMM slot 1.

Removing currently installed SIMMs.

Note Always begin SIMM removal with slot 1.

Refer to the SIMM-slot placement rules at the beginning of this Appendix for information as to which type of SIMM is installed into which slot.

1. Locate the metal locking tabs holding the SIMM

in place on either side of the board slot.

Figure B-1.6. Locate the SIMM locking tabs.

2. Gently push down on the metal locking tabs while

rotating the board toward the back of the slot shown as rotating down and to the left in Figure B-1.7 - until it clears the metal tabs. As it may take two hands to hold down the metal locking tabs on both sides of the board simultaneously, you may want to call for another person to assist you in this process.

Figure B-1.7. Removing an existing SIMM

board.

3. Remove the existing SIMM and place into an

antistatic bag.

Installing SIMMs.

Note For configurations where two SIMMs are to be

installed, always begin installation with slot 2. Refer to the SIMM-slot placement rules at the

beginning of this Appendix for information as to which type of SIMM is installed into which slot.

1. Remove the new SIMM from its antistatic

package. Hold the board with your forefingers on the side edges and your thumbs against the back edge, as shown in Figure B-1.8. Turn the board so the notch on one end is on the bottom and the metal teeth face toward the slot.

Figure B-1.8. Positioning the SIMM.

2. Hold the SIMM board at a 30-degree angle to the

slot and push the edge of the board evenly and firmly into the slot, as shown in Figure B-1.9.

Figure B-1.9. Seating the SIMM board in the

socket.

Rotate the board to the right until the board ‘clicks’ into the metal locking tabs, securing the board in place - see Figure B-1.10.

Figure B-1.10. Securing the SIMM board in

the socket.

3. Gently rock the SIMM back and forth. If it is

seated correctly, it will not lift away from the slot. If it lifts up, you have not pushed it firmly enough into the slot, and you must try installing again.

4. If another SIMM is to be installed (i.e., slot 1),

simply repeat these installation steps.

Finishing up

1. Replace the top cover.

2. Replace the top cover hold down screws.

3. Plug in the power cord and switch the controller

ON.

Testing a Memory Upgrade The simplest way to test a memory upgrade

performed on the controller is to do the following:

1) Check status lights on the controller front panel.

After performing a power-on self check, the controller should show the status light condition for “Ready to print”, as shown in Figure B-1.11. (See Appendix B, Controller Status Lights, in the Controller User’s Guide, for a complete listing as to what conditions are indicated by the status lights, and how to interpret them.)

Figure B-1.11. ‘Ready to Print’ status light

condition.

2) Print a Diagnostic Test Page (see Diagnostic Test

Page in Appendix A of the Controller User’s

Guide if you need instructions), and note the area on the report which states the amount of memory available to the printer, as shown in Figure B-

1.12.

Figure B-1.12. Using the Diagnostic Test Page to verify correct memory

installation.

Printing this page verifies that the

a) controller is able to communicate with the

digital duplicator,

b) memory installation was done correctly, c) amount of memory you installed is what you

expected, and

d) memory is functioning correctly.

If the test page does not indicate the correct amount of memory, or there is some other problem, proceed with the next section (troubleshooting).

Troubleshooting a Memory Upgrade A memory upgrade/installation can fail for several

reasons:

1) In a two-memory-board installation, a single-

sided memory card has been installed into slot 1 that does not have a PD jumper.

2) A memory board is not seated properly when

installed.

3) Memory is installed correctly but is of insufficient

size.

4) One or both of the memory boards has failed.

Check the following tables for the symptom you are experiencing to identify a course of action.

Symptom Most Probable Causes What to do

The Diagnostic Test Page indicates that the

controller is recognizing memory, but it is not of the expected size.

1) The SIMM installed in

slot 1 is not a double- sided memory card.

2) The SIMM installed in

slot 2 is not seated properly

3) The installed SIMM(s)

has (have) a memory size that is actually smaller than it’s specification.

Procure a SIMM that is doublesided and install into slot 1.

Properly re-install the SIMM in slot 2.

a) Check to make sure the board

part numbers are correct for the SIMM size. If not, obtain and install the correct ones for the desired memory size.

b) The SIMM could have a fault

in which it only reports part (for example, one-half) of the memory for which it is rated. In this case, the board must be returned to the vendor for replacement.

Table B-1.2. Troubleshooting – Incorrect Diagnostic Test Page.

Symptom Most Probable Causes What to do

The controller status lights indicate a controller unit failure.

1) The SIMM in slot 1 is

not seated correctly.

2) The SIMM in slot 1 is

at fault.

3) Total memory being

reported is less than the standard memory configuration for your controller.

Properly re-install the SIMM in slot 1.

If you have a SIMM in slot 2 and it has a memory size sufficiently large for the standard memory requirements of your controller, try installing it in the slot 1 position. If the controller responds positively to this, you probably have a faulty SIMM, which must be returned to the vendor for replacement.

a) The combination of SIMMs

yields a size under the standard memory configuration for your controller. You must install the minimum amount of memory so the controller will function.

b) SIMMs in either slot do not

report the correct amount of memory available to the controller. Try swapping the SIMMs from slot 1 to 2 to see if the controller will give a ‘ready to print’ status. If it will not, and you are sure the SIMMs are of the correct size, they are probably defective and must be returned to the vendor for replacement.

Font Basics

Introduction This appendix contains basic information about fonts.

The following topics are covered:

q Elements of a Font q Screen Fonts for Windows q Selecting Fonts q Default Font q Considerations For Shared Printer Environments q Font Selection Priority

Elements of a Font When you select a typeface through your word

processing program or other software, you may be prompted to select a point size or pitch. When you set up your page layout, you will also choose whether the text will be in portrait or landscape orientation. This combination of a typeface, a specific point size, and an orientation is called a “font”.

Typeface A “typeface” is the name for a specific design of

characters and symbols. For example, “Times New Roman” is one typeface and “Times New Roman Bold Italic” is another typeface (see Figure C-2.1). Both those typefaces belong to the Times New Roman typeface “family”.

Times New Roman

Times New Roman Bold

Times New Roman Italic

Times New Roman Bold Italic

Figure C-2.1. Four Typefaces from the Times

New Roman Family

Note When you make a bold or italic, you are actually

telling the software to select a different typeface.

Point Size “Point size” refers to the height of your type

measured in points (1/72 of an inch). All of your printer’s proportionally spaced internal typefaces are scalable from .25 point to a maximum of 999.75 points in quarter-point increments, depending on the capabilities of your software.

Figure C-2.2 shows some commonly used point sizes.

8 Point

10 Point

12 Point

14 Point

18 Point

24 Point

48 Point

Figure C-2.2. Examples of Various Point

Sizes

Pitch “Pitch” refers to the number of characters that can be

printed in one horizontal inch (see Figure C-2.3). For example, a font with a pitch of 10 will print 10 characters for every horizontal inch of text. Pitch only applies to typefaces with fixed spacing, such as Courier, letter Gothic, or Line Printer.

Your printer will scale typefaces that have fixed spacing from .5 to 85.7 pitch (depending upon the capabilities of your software).

Figure C-2.3. Pitch

Orientation Portrait orientation is vertical – see Figure C-2.4, Item

1. Landscape orientation is horizontal – see Figure C-

2.4, Item 2. When the printer receives a software command to print in landscape orientation, it will automatically rotate any internal and accessory font to print along the wide edge of your paper (landscape mode).

Figure C-2.4. Portrait and Landscape

Orientations

Other Font

Characteristics A font has other characteristics such as stroke,

weight, style, and spacing (proportional or fixedpitch). Your software will probably not ask you to enter codes for these font characteristics.

Screen Fonts for Windows To achieve true WYSIWYG (“what you see is what

you get”) capability for software running under Microsoft Windows, you must have screen fonts that match your printer fonts.

Selecting Fonts Fonts are selected through the software you are using.

Look in your software documentation for topics such as “font selection,” “base font,” “printer setup,” “print options”, “font appearance”, “change font,” or “select type.”

Here are a couple of simple rules to remember regarding font selection:

1) Do not mix PCL and PostScript fonts in the same

document. The controller must switch personalities in order to print one font versus the other, and it cannot do this halfway through a print job. Instead, it will try to substitute a suitable PCL font for the PostScript font being called for, or vice-versa, and your document will not look right when printed. For this reason, you should use all PCL or all PostScript fonts in a single document

2) Be sure to use the correct printer driver for the

fonts you are using – either PCL or PostScript.

Default Font The default font depends upon the printer language/

driver you are using. If you are using PCL, look under Default Font in Chapter 3, PCL Printing, in this manual. If you are using PostScript, look under Default Font in Chapter 2, PostScript Printing, in this manual.

Considerations for Shared Printer Environments Your digital duplicator may be connected to other

computers besides yours. This is done one of several ways:

1. Two computers may use the digital duplicator

simultaneously using either of the two direct connection interfaces on the back of the controller (parallel or LocalTalk).

2. Your organization may be using a switch box to

connect two or more computers, one at a time, to the digital duplicator.

3. The controller may be connected to a LAN,

providing access to the digital duplicator to any

number of users. A combination of any of the above three methods. Be sure to check with the other users of the digital

duplicator before you download or remove soft fonts and typefaces. This will conserve memory and help you avoid unexpected printer output.

Font Selection Priority This is the order in which your controller selects its

fonts:

1. First, the controller looks for a downloaded soft

font.

2. If the requested font is not available as a disk-

based font (“soft font”), the controller checks for

fonts in its memory (SIMM).

3. If the font is not available in it’s memory, the

controller selects one of its internal fonts. When choosing a font, the font must be available

from one of the above sources. If the font you request is not available, the controller selects the closest match based on individual font characteristics.

PCL Symbol Sets

Introduction Symbol sets are unique groupings of characters

(alphabetic, numeric, punctuation, and special symbols) designed to meet the requirements of specific languages and occupations. To help you choose and use the proper symbol set, this appendix contains:

q Tables showing which symbol sets are supported

by each of the controller’s internal typefaces.

q Substitution table for accessing ISO symbols from

the Roman-8 symbol set.

For information as to the characters available in each of the symbol sets, see the Related Documentation section of the Chapter 3, PCL Printing, in this Controller Reference Manual.

Note For PostScript symbol sets, see your software

documentation. For general information, see Chapter 2, PostScript Printing, in this manual

Software Support Although all the characters and symbols shown on the

tables are printable, your software might not support some of them. Check your software documentation to see which symbol sets are supported. Look for phrases such as “code pages,” “extended characters,” and “character sets.”

Typeface Support Typefaces are designed to include limited

combinations of characters and symbols. Some typefaces, such as Wingdings, support only one specific symbol set. Other typefaces, such as CG Times and Univers, support almost all of the controller’s available symbol sets.

Use Table D-2.1 and Table D-2.2 to determine which symbol sets to use with the typefaces you have chosen. These tables also contain information to help you select symbol sets through your software application using PCL commands.

Note Symbol sets other than those described here are

available with various software products, such as word processors, spreadsheets, and desktop publishing programs.
