Comment In The Print Job |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer is sending postscript print jobs through a Kodak Printserver. The print server is designed to route print jobs to different printers in an efficient way by looking at the size of each print job (in pages) and routing them accordingly. The customer has WP 5.1 and using any postscript driver the only comment that appears in the print job is the %PS-Adobe at the very beginning. According to Adobe specifications, this is the minimum amount of comments required. However, in order to work properly, this (and several other) print server needs a %%Pages: (Page Number) comment in the print job to efficiently route it. For example, a six page print job would have a comment near the bottom that specifies pages as follows: %%Pages: 6 Solutions: Our postscript drivers for 5.1 and 6.0 do not provide this comment while the Windows Postscript drivers do. A customer using WordPerfect for Windows can use a Windows Postscript driver. If the customer is using WordPerfect for Dos 5.1, then the following PTR modifications will add this comment (Note: Only priority technicians on the 900 lines should be modifying printer drivers): 1. Start up PTR and retrieve the PRS file. Press Enter to edit the printer definition. 2. Highlight Printer Commands and press Enter. 3. Highlight "Reset at End of Print Job" and press Ctrl-Enter. 4. Edit the expression so that it looks like the following: "%%Pages: "ASCII(PAGE) BEGINTEXT %%EOF ENDTEXT [4] 5. Exit PTR and save the PRS file. Notes: The PAGE variable in WordPerfect drivers keeps track of the current page number. The [4] at the end is the ASCII equivalent of ^D which is the Postscript end of file marker. |
