-
- (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1992, 1994
-
- TEXTorPS is an application program that can enhance the usability of the OS/2
- PostScript Drivers by permitting the user to leave the printer in PostScript
- mode and still print text sent to the printer spooler by applications which are
- not PostScript aware.
-
- When TEXTorPS is running, PostScript printer jobs are undisturbed, but other
- text files are modified by the insertion of a PostScript program to interpret
- the job as ASCII text. The user may specify the font, typesize, line spacing,
- margins, orientation, page numbers and strings on each page.
-
- The ASCII text mode which is supported is not the full PPDS datastream mode,
- and does not support graphics, control characters other than CR/LF and FF, or
- the block graphics characters. The National Language Characters of codepage 850
- are available as an option.
-
- Starting TEXTorPS
-
- TEXTorPS monitors the default printer queue. Restart Textorps if the default
- printer queue is changed. Textorps is not a printer object - don't drag files
- to it. When Textorps is running, you may print to the default printer queue in
- any of the standard ways. Select 'printer specific' if the spooler asks you
- what kind of data you have. The command to start Textorps is
-
- TEXTORPS
-
- Program Parameter can select queue
-
- In addition to the Queue window which can be used to select the monitored
- printer queue, an integer parameter can be passed to the program to select the
- queue. This is not the LPTn integer. For details, see the Monitored Printer
- Queue entry.
-
- The length of time of display of the program logo with the copyright notice is
- determined by the System Logo setting on the Logo page of System settings in
- the Setup icon in the OS/2 System Folder.
-
- If you want to install TEXTorPS for a printer on a LAN, you must define a
- printer using the PostScript Driver set up for an unused LPTn port, in addition
- to the LPTm port defined by the NET USE command. For example, suppose you have
- issued the command
-
- NET USE LPT3 \\server\queue
- to redirect LPT3 to the LAN. Also create a printer object setup to output to
- an unused printer port- say LPT2. On the TEXTorPS queue screen, set the
- monitored queue (left list box) to LPT2 and set the NET USE Printer Port list
- box to LPT3. If you have TCPIP installed, you can use LPRMON to monitor LPT2
- and redirect output to the LAN. In that case you don't need LPT3 and would set
- the NET USE Printer Port list box to "NO NET USE". You probably want to also
- set the LPT2 printer as the default printer.
-
- Output of either text or PostScript may be sent to LPT2. Files dragged to the
- Print Manager may be indicated as "printer specific" to obtain the TEXTorPS
- formatting. Selecting "plain text" will result in the system Courier
- formatting and will continue to work with TEXTorPS installed.

-
- Installing Textorps
-
- In addition to copying Textorps to a directory on the path, or installing it on
- the desktop, you may want to consider automatic startup by shadowing TextorPS
- to the startup folder. To be able to use the online help information, be sure
- to place
-
- set help = d:\path
- in config.sys, where
-
- path
- contains the directory in which TEXTORPS.HLP is installed.

- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.1.1. Paper Size ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Use this List Box to inform the program of the paper size in your printer. Be
- sure to also set the appropriate paper size on your printer front panel;
- TEXTorPS does not force the correct size at present for maximum compatibility
- with printers. You may specify the 7.25x10.5 inch executive size, the 8.5x11
- inch, or 8.5x14 inch sizes, or the 182x257 mm or 210x297 mm sizes, or select
- the A4, A5, B5, letter, or legal size names. It is no longer necessary to
- specify margins in the same units as the paper size.
-
- This option is on the Margins window.
-
- Press Esc to Close Help Window
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.1.2. Edge Margins ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Specify the Top, Left, Right and Bottom distances between the printed body text
- and the paper edges. If landscape orientation is specified, the top margin
- is the margin above the printed text body along a long edge of the paper. Any
- page numbers or page label strings are printed outside the body of the text
- in the margin area.
-
- This option is on the Margins window.
-
- Press Esc to Close Help Window
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.1.3. Landscape Orientation ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Select this option to rotate printing by 90 degrees. In landscape mode on 8.5
- by 11 paper with half inch margins, for example, the lines are 10 inches long
- and there are fewer lines than in portrait mode (the default, non-landscape
- mode).
-
- This option is on the Margins window.
-
- Press Esc to Close Help Window
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.1.4. Folio Mode ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Select this option if the ultimate document will be copied to both sides of
- each sheet and you wish the margins to be reflected for even numbered
- pages. For example, to permit binding, you might want large left margins on
- odd numbered pages. If left margin = 2 inches and right margin = 0.5 inches,
- and Folio mode is selected, the left margin for even numbered pages will be 0.5
- inches and the right margin for those pages will be 2.0 inches. At the same
- time, text specified for the Top Right corner will be placed in the Top Left
- corner for even numbered pages, so that it is at the outside edge for all
- pages.
-
- This option is on the Margins window.

-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.1.5. 1 Page/ Print Option ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.1.6. 2 Page/ Print Option ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

- paper, as contrasted with 1 Page / Print (which is normal size output) or
- 4 Pages / Print. These options allow compressed printing of more than one
- page per sheet while keeping the page breaks at the normal places. This option
- is also called "2 UP" printing, and can be used for draft printing or more
- efficient use of paper. You may want to consider changing the Font Size with
- 2 UP printing, because the page images are reduced so two fit on a rotated
- sheet.
-

- is also called "4 UP" printing, and can be used for draft printing or more

- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.5. Queue Window Options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- o Monitored Printer Queue
-
- Use this screen and this option to select which printer queue is to be
- monitored. This should be a queue connected to a PostScript printer locally
- or to a LAN by TCPIP command LPRMON. The displayed name is the name which
- appears under your printer icon.
-
- The Default Queue setting will use the queue which is selected as the default
- printer at the time TEXTorPS is started. If you change default printers,
- TEXTorPS will not change the queue it is monitoring unless it is stopped and
- restarted.
-
- Multiple copies of TEXTorPS may be run at one time to monitor several queues.
- To facilitate doing this routinely, the program parameter can be set to an
- integer which identifies which queue to use from the list which shows on this
- screen, with 0 representing the Default Queue, 1 the first queue below that,
- etc.
-
- o NET USE Printer Port
-
- Use this option to select which printer port has been linked to a LAN queue
- by a NET USE LPTn \\server\queue command. If you don't have a NET USE
- command active, this setting should be "NO NET USE". Also it is "NO NET USE"
- if the TCPIP LPRMON command is used to redirect the monitored queue.

- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.5.2. NET USE Printer Port ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- If you are using the LAN command NET USE LPTn \\server\queue to define a LAN
- printer, identify the logical printer port in the NET USE command on the
- listbox "NET USE Port for output" which shows on the Queue screen. Make
- certain that this logical port does not correspond to the "Monitored Printer
- Queue" which is set in the listbox on the left side of the same screen. If
- necessary, create an additional printer object set for an unused LPTn port, say
- LPT2, for use as the default printer port and "monitored queue".
-
- This option is on the Queue window.

- some printer drivers, but will be ignored by PostScript printers.
