Problem
Solutions: The EHANDLER.PS file is an Adobe PostScript error handler file. If the EHANDLER.PS file has been sent to the printer and an error occurs during printing, the error will be printed. The EHANDLER.PS file will only print common PostScript error messages. The EHANDLER.PS file is located on the WordPerfect 5.1 printer disks and is shipped automatically with the WP package. In 5.0 the EHANDLER.PS file is located on the PostScript Additional driver (printer disk 6). The EHANDLER.PS file can handle the following types of error messages: a. Timeout errors b. Problems printing graphics c. Errors locating fonts d. Memory errors (VM errors-virtual memory) e. Stack overflow errors f. Syntax errors Timeouts can be changed on a PostScript printer by typing the following at a DOS prompt: SERVERDICT BEGIN 0 EXITSERVER STATUSDICT BEGIN 0 60 0 SETDEFAULTTIMEOUTS END SHOWPAGE ^D If the timeout file prints as text, confirm that the user is in PostScript mode. The above timeout command does not work with NEC Silentwriter LC-890. The following test will send a blank piece of paper through the printer with only the word test printed that appears on line 6. COPY CON PORT /COURIER(OR ANY INTERNAL FONT) FINDFONT 25 SCALEFONT 200 200 MOVETO (TEST) SHOW SHOWPAGE ^D ^Z If the user would like to print a different font other than Courier for the above DOS test, then retrieve the .ALL file in PTR and look at the file, to find the name that WP uses for the font name. 1. Type PTR and the DOS directory prompt where the printer files are located 2. Retrieve the .ALL or .PRS file and select the font option 3. Press Enter of the font name and arrow to option Load and Select and press Enter 4. Next highlight the PostScript font name, and the name that WP recognizes it as will appear and this will be the name that the user will use instead of Courier (e.g., Bookman Demi may list as Bookman-Demi) |
