PostScript Printers ═══ A PostScript**-capable printer can interpret commands embedded in text that call for special features, such as rotated printing and shadows around characters. PSCRIPT.DRV supports a variety of PostScript printers, and also provides a generic selection for use with a PostScript-capable printer not specifically named in the models list of the printer driver installation window. The Printer Driver Diskettes that come with your OS/2* system include PostScript soft fonts. You install them only one time, even if you intend to use more than one PostScript printer. To take advantage of these fonts: 1. Display the Printer Properties window for a PostScript printer driver, then select Fonts. 2. Add font names from the diskettes to the list of Available Fonts in the Font Installer window. 3. Select any of the installed fonts for a particular job from within your program. ═══ 8. Help for PostScript Printer Properties ═══ Use this window to select from the characteristics that describe the physical setup of your printer. The information provided concerns the characteristics of the PostScript** model identified in the Printer Model field. Using the Paper Source fields and push buttons, you can indicate the size form loaded in each tray of the printer, adding form definitions when necessary for your printing needs. The Fonts push button provides access to a window in which you install fonts. For a detailed explanation of each field, select from the list below: o Paper Source o Device Defaults o Fonts o Automatic Mode Switching o Font Download o OK o Cancel ═══ 9. Help for Paper Source ═══ Use these fields to describe the paper normally loaded in each tray of your printer. Tray lists each tray supported by your model printer, describing them by position (upper, lower) or size (envelope, large capacity). Form lists predefined forms, describing them by size or function (letter, legal). The preselected Form depends upon the currently selected Tray. You can select one of the predefined forms, or add forms with unique names or sizes to the list. To associate a predefined form with a tray: 1. In the Tray field, select the word that describes the position or size of the tray. 2. In the Form field, select the choice that describes the paper loaded in the selected tray. You can scroll the list to see more forms. Select None if not using a particular tray. For a detailed explanation of each field, select from the list below: o Define Form o Delete Form ═══ 10. Help for Define Form ═══ Select Define Form to access the Define Forms window. Use the window to add a form if the Form list does not contain the size of the form you are loading, or if you want to uniquely identify a preprinted form. ═══ 11. Help for Delete Form ═══ Select Delete Form to delete the selected entry from the Form list. A window appears, in which you confirm or cancel the deletion. Selecting OK deletes the selected form. Selecting No returns to PostScript Printer Properties window without deleting the form. ═══ 12. Help for Device Defaults ═══ Select Device Defaults for an opportunity to: o Specify orientation (portrait, landscape), scaling ratio, flipped or inverted effects. o Specify default form or request manually fed paper. o Enable color printing. o Redirect print output to a file. o Request multiple copies. o Specify time-out. Prior to selecting Device Defaults, hold any queued jobs for which you intend to change properties. ═══ 13. Help for Fonts ═══ Select Fonts for access to the Font Installer window. You can then view a list of currently installed soft fonts, add fonts to those listed as available, or delete unneeded fonts. ═══ 14. Help for Define Forms ═══ In this window you can assign a unique name to a predefined form size. By assigning a name to a form, you can distinguish between special forms, even when two forms have the same size. For some printer models, you can also specify custom dimensions for new forms. For a detailed explanation of each field, select from the list below: o Name o Size o Units o Width o Height o Add o Cancel ═══ 15. Help for Name ═══ Using up to 32 characters, type a unique name for the form you want to define. You can change the definition for a previously defined form name by typing the same name in this field. If you reuse a previously defined name, the most recent size you assign to it takes effect. ═══ 16. Help for Size ═══ This field contains a list of all the predefined sizes that fit the trays for your model printer. You can scroll the list to see more size descriptions. Select the size that you want assigned to the name in the Name field. For printer models that can accept custom form sizes, the list includes the word Custom as the last entry. Select Custom for access to the Custom Paper Size fields, in which you specify dimensions of a form that does not appear in the predefined Size list. For a detailed explanation of each field, select from the list below: o Units o Width o Height Related Information: Form names and sizes ═══ 17. Form Names and Sizes ═══ A4 210 by 297 millimeters A5 148 by 210 millimeters B5 182 by 257 millimeters Letter 8.5 by 11 inches Legal 8.5 by 14 inches Statement 5.5 by 8.5 inches Tabloid 11 by 17 inches Envelope names have point sizes after them. For example, Envelope.297.684 (C10 Envelope) is 297 points high by 684 points wide. ═══ 18. Help for Units ═══ You gain access to this list by selecting Custom in the Size field. Select the unit of measure in which you intend to specify width and height -- Inches, Centimeters or Points. One point equals 1/72 of an inch. ═══ 19. Help for Width ═══ Type a number that represents the horizontal measurement of your form in the selected Units. For example, for the same letter-width form, you would type: 8.5 in inch units, 21.59 in centimeter units, or 612 in points. ═══ 20. Help for Height ═══ Type a number that represents the vertical measurement of your form in the selected Units. For example, for the same form, you would type: 11 in inch units, 28.2 in centimeter units, or 792 in points. ═══ 21. Help for Add ═══ Select Add to add the new form name. The name appears in the Form list in the PostScript Printer Properties window. From this window, you can select the new form for a tray. ═══ 22. Help for Font Installer ═══ Use this window to add soft fonts as you need them. The Installed font directory field displays the name of the area of your hard disk set aside for PostScript** soft fonts. Installed fonts lists the name of soft fonts already installed in that directory. All PostScript printers in your system can share the fonts on your hard disk. To install new fonts: 1. Insert your font diskette in drive A. 2. Select Open. 3. Select the fonts you want to add in New soft fonts. 4. Select Add to add the selected fonts to the Installed fonts field. Delete allows you to delete unneeded fonts. For a detailed explanation of each field, select from the list below: o Installed Fonts o New Font Directory o Installed Font Directory o New Soft Fonts o OK o Open o Add o Delete ═══ 23. Help for Installed Fonts ═══ This list contains the names of those soft-font files already installed on your hard disk. You can scroll the list to see more fonts. ═══ 24. Help for New Font Directory ═══ Use this field to indicate the location of font files you want to install. Usually, you install new font files from a diskette, so the field contains the initial value A:\. You can type a different path. ═══ 25. Help for Installed Font Directory ═══ Use this field to indicate where you want the installed font files placed on your disk. You may type a different path than the one specified. The path must already exist. ═══ 26. Help for New Soft Fonts ═══ This list displays the names of fonts stored in the New font directory. To fill the list: 1. Put the appropriate diskette in A drive. 2. Select Open. You can scroll the list to see more fonts. Highlight any fonts you want to install, then select Add. ═══ 27. Help for Open ═══ Select Open to read font names from the drive and directory identified in the New font directory field. ═══ 28. Help for Add ═══ Select Add to add selected New soft fonts to the Installed fonts field. Note: Each font requires two files from the New font directory, one ending in .PFB, and one ending in .AFM. After loading all .PFB files for the selected fonts, the Font Installer program searches New font directory for the related .AFM files. If you have the .AFM's on a different diskette, when prompted to move the missing files to New font directory, change diskettes. ═══ 29. Automatic Mode Switching ═══ Automatic Mode Switching Some printers can emulate different types of printers. Select the Automatic Mode Switching check box to send commands to the printer putting it in PostScript mode every time a job is sent. You can only make this selection for a printer model that supports multiple emulation capability. You might want to turn off mode switching if the printer is set in PostScript mode and only PostScript jobs are sent to it. This feature is also useful if you download fonts or other printer resident routines that would be lost if a mode switch occurred. ═══ 30. Font Download ═══ Font Download Use these fields to set a limit of how many soft fonts that can be sent to the printer in a document. Soft fonts are stored as files, usually identified with the file extension ".PFB", that are sent to the printer when output is generated. These soft fonts take up a certain amount of printer memory based on their size. If too many fonts are sent the printer will abort the job. The amount of memory in the printer determines how many soft fonts can be sent to it. The Maximum Downloaded Fonts field limits the number of fonts can be sent to the printer. This initial value is calculated from the base memory that is shipped with the printer. This is the number that appears when the Default button is pressed. If you have added printer memory you should adjust the number upward by clicking on the up arrow or using the up arrow key. If you are not sure of how much memory is installed on the printer or would like a suggestion, click on the Print Font Capacity button. This will cause a status sheet to be printed showing the actual available memory and the suggested number of fonts the printer can handle. The calculation is as follows: Num Fonts = ( Free Memory (in bytes) - 100,000 ) / 80,000 80,000 per font is a very conservative number which should work in all cases. However, most fonts are considerable smaller and in many cases you could calculate the maximum number of fonts based on a memory requirement as low as 40,000 per font. If you want to disable the limit set it to 999. If you are using many soft fonts and find your jobs are aborting, lower the Downloaded Fonts value by clicking on the down arrow or using the down arrow key. Lowering the number of downloaded fonts does not prevent you from using the font in your documents. To turn off font downloading set Maximum Downloaded Fonts to zero. Only device or hardware fonts in the printer will be used. All soft fonts will be drawn by the engine. You can still use soft fonts but printing performance may decrease. ═══ 31. Help for Delete ═══ Select Delete to remove selected font names from the Installed Fonts list. ═══ 32. Help for PostScript Job Properties ═══ Use the primary Job Properties window has fields in which you specify: orientation, scaling (enlargement or reduction), form selection, hand feeding of special forms. This window also provides a method to switch between color and black-on-white for color-capable printers. Select Options to obtain access to a second properties window, in which you can select print to a file, request a flipped or inverted print image, set time-out limits, and request multiple page copies. Some programs display this window, enabling you to assign these job properties for a specific document or template. When setting up a queue, you select job property defaults that take effect if the program does not override them. For a detailed explanation of each field, select from the list below: o Orientation o Scaling o Form o Manual Feed o Use Color o Resolution o OK o Options o Cancel ═══ 33. Help for Orientation ═══ Select Portrait (upright) to print with the top of the printed material in the same direction as the top of the paper. Letters, books, and reports usually have portrait orientation. Select Landscape (rotated) to print perpendicular to the direction in which the paper is fed. Landscape is frequently selected for documents such as spreadsheets or plotted graphics, which are wider than they are long. Because you can rotate individual PostScript characters on a page, portrait and landscape orient the entire job with reference to characters that are not rotated in the original document. ═══ 34. Help for Scaling ═══ This field shows print image size as a percentage of magnification. The preselected value, 100 means the material prints full size. Type a number greater than 100 to obtain an enlarged image, or type a number smaller than 100 to reduce the image. ═══ 35. Help for Form ═══ This field contains the names of all defined forms. You can scroll the list to see additional forms. To select a particular form for a print job, select its name. ═══ 36. Help for Manual Feed ═══ Select the Manual Feed check box to have the printer wait for you to manually feed odd size forms, transparencies, or other media that should not feed from paper trays. If you select Manual Feed, you are prompted to insert the paper before the printer processes each page of a job. ═══ 37. Help for Use Color ═══ Select this check box to choose between color printing. You can only make this selection for a printer model that has color capability. When you select color printing, this box has an X in it. To change to black-on-white, select the box again, causing the X to disappear. You might prefer black-on-white for proofs or long text printouts. ═══ 38. Help for Resolution ═══ This field contains all the resolutions supported by the printer. The values are in dots per inch (DPI). You can scroll the list to see additional resolutions. To select a particular resolution for a print job, select its value. ═══ 39. Help for Options ═══ Select Options to set up optional job properties, such as printing to a file, flipping or rotating the print image, obtaining multiple copies, and setting time-out limits for your job. ═══ 40. Help for Options ═══ In this window, you can request optional job properties, such as disk file output, flipped or inverted printing effects, time limits for printing or waiting to print, and copies per page. For a detailed explanation of each field, select from the list below: o Print To o Printing Effects o Timeouts Secs o Uncollated Copies o OK o Cancel ═══ 41. Help for Print To ═══ Select one radio button to indicate print job destination. The preselected choice, Printer, routes the job to the printer queue. You can, instead, elect to process the job as a file, formatted in one of two alternative ways: o Select Raw PostScript file to save the contents of your job imbedded with PostScript** printer controls. Some users select this choice, then forward the print-formatted file to a service agency that provides typesetting. o Select Encapsulated PostScript file to prepare the first page of output in encapsulated (EPS) form for programs that accept this format. You must fill in the File field if selecting Raw PostScript file or Encapsulated PostScript file. Type the path and filename where you wish to direct the printer-formatted output. ═══ 42. Help for Printing Effects ═══ Select Flip top to bottom if you want your image to print upside down. Select Flip left to right to produce a mirror image. Select Draw inverted to reverse background and foreground color, producing an image similar to a photographic negative. You can select one effect alone, or combine two or all three in the same print job. ═══ 43. Help for Timeouts Secs ═══ You can indicate time limits (in seconds) for the job to process. In the Job field, you can type a number of seconds you wish to allow a job for completing printing. If Job time expires during printing, the remaining pages do not print. In the Wait field, you can type the number of seconds you wish to allow a job to wait in a queue. If the job is still queued when the Wait time expires, it does not print and is removed from the queue. Each time limit has a maximum of 999 seconds (16 minutes, 39 seconds). The initial value of zero (0) in each field means there is no time limit, and the job can take as long to print or wait as needed. ═══ 44. Help for Uncollated Copies ═══ In this field, type the number of uncollated copies of each page you want printed. Duplicates of each page print together. For example, if you select 3 copies of a two-page job, the printer first outputs 3 copies of page one, followed by 3 copies of page two. ═══ queue ═══ A list of jobs waiting to be printed or plotted at a particular print destination. See also spooling. ═══ 45. spooling ═══ The process of temporarily storing print jobs while waiting for an available printer or port at a print-destination. Spooling jobs frees system resources from waiting for a relatively slow device to output information, and keeps the contents of each print job separated from the contents of every other print job. ═══ radio button ═══ A circle with text beside it. Radio buttons are combined to show you a fixed set of choices from which only one can be selected. The circle is partially filled when a choice is selected. ═══ 46. check box ═══ A square box with associated text that represents a choice. When you select a choice, an X appears in the check box to indicate that the choice is in effect. You can clear the check box by selecting the choice again. ═══ default ═══ A value, an attribute, or an option that is assumed when another is not explicitly specified. ═══ path ═══ A statement that indicates where a file is stored. The path consists of the drive letter and all the directories that must be opened to get to a particular file. The directory names are separated by a backslash (\). The first backslash represents the root directory. The first path in the example below shows a file that is located in the root directory of a diskette in drive A; the second path in the example shows a path to a printer driver file on drive C: A:\ C:\OS2\DLL\IBM4019 A path is sometimes followed by a file name and file-name extension (if there is one). ═══ 47. hard disk ═══ A rigid disk in a hard disk drive that you cannot remove from the drive. Because of its size, the hard disk is subdivided into directories. ═══ 48. install ═══ To copy software components from distribution media to specified areas (directories) of a hard disk. ═══ soft font ═══ Optional fonts shipped as files. The soft font files must be copied to the hard disk before you can select them from programs.
