Adding Control-D characters to PC files

The

ADDCTRLD.BAT

and

CTRLD.PS

files are included for users who want to write

their own PostScript files. See

Installing the utility files

to locate the printer’s

utility files.

N O T E

If your computer is connected to the printer through the parallel port, or the optional
serial port, you need to have Control-D characters in your utility files or in the files you
create. However, if your computer is connected to a network such as NetWare or
TCP/IP, you should not add Control-D characters to a utility file.

The non-text Control-D character is required at the end of PostScript files sent to the
printer’s parallel port or optional serial port; it signals “end-of-job.” A Control-D
should precede and follow most PostScript data files.

ADDCTRLD.BAT

and

CTRLD.PS

help you add two Control-D characters to your files.
