TITLE: Printing Multiple Copies to PostScript Issues Multiple Jobs
PRODUCT: Ami Pro 2.0
DATE: 22-Nov-1991
PROBLEM:
Specifying to print multiple copies of a file to a PostScript printer sends
each copy to the printer separately making the print time longer than it would
having the data sent only once, then the printer making the multiple copies.
SOLUTION:
Because of the structure of the 3.3 and 3.4 Windows PostScript drivers, Ami
Pro files which specify printing multiple copies will print each copy
separately to a PostScript printer (the image of the file will be sent to the
printer multiple times instead of one time). This will extend the time that
it takes to print multiple copies of a file.
A workaround is to set the number of copies to print in the Ami Pro print
options AND in the PostScript printer driver. This method will send an image
of the file to the printer only once, then the printer will make the multiple
copies from that image. NOTE: Since the Ami Pro print option for number of
copies to print overrides the PostScript printer driver option for number of
copies, it is necessary to set the number in both locations. Otherwise, the
Ami Pro option will override the printer driver setting and an incorrect
number of copies will print.
HOW TO SET THE NUMBER OF COPIES TO PRINT
1. In Ami Pro open the file that will be printed.
2. Choose File / Print.
3. Specify the desired number of copies to print in the Number of Copies
option.
4. Choose Setup.
5. Type the same number specified in Step 3 for the Copies option in the
PostScript printer driver.
6. Choose OK.
7. Choose OK.
NOTE: The number of copies specified in Step 5 will remain in the PostScript
printer driver until another number is specified.
Modified Ami Pro program files are available which will provide a more
permanent solution to this situation by working around the way the PostScript
printer drivers work. Using the modified Ami Pro files, it will not be
necessary to set the number of copies to print in the PostScript printer
driver. To obtain these files, call the Lotus WPD Customer Service Department
at 404-256-2272 and request the modified Ami Pro files that optimize printing
multiple copies to a PostScript printer.
