4.7 Job Trailer Page Jogs with PostScript Level 2 Printers
When job jogging is enabled on PostScript Level 2 printers, jogging occurs
between the body of a job and its trailer page (if any).
4.8 Unable to Perform ANSI Tray Selection for Certain Printers
An attempt to print an ANSI file containing a tray selection escape sequence
might fail, depending on which printer you are using. If so, the job might
abort with a PostScript configuration error, with the offending command being
‘‘setpapertray’’.
Also, some printers, such as the Compaq Laser Printer LN16 and GENICOM
microLaser 170, have input trays with PostScript tray numbers of 0. The ANSI
escape sequence DECASFC is used to select trays, but a value of 0 means ‘‘no
tray change’’ and selecting tray 0 is therefore not possible. For example, an ANSI
escape sequence of
<CSI>0!v
does not select tray 0, but rather indicates no change of tray.
A workaround to this problem is to create and subsequently invoke a
setup module that redefines the settoptray, setbottomtray, setlcittray and
setmanualfeedtray PostScript commands within the TRN$XLATE_DICT
dictionary.
For example, for a Compaq Laser Printer LN16, DIGITAL Laser Printer
LN15 or LN15+, or GENICOM microLaser 170, you should create a setup
module that contains the following definitions for settoptray, setbottomtray and
setmanualfeedtray:
TRN$XLATE_DICT begin
/settoptray { statusdict begin 0 setpapertray end } def
/setbottomtray { statusdict begin 1 setpapertray end } def
/setmanualfeedtray { statusdict begin 3 setpapertray end } def
end
For an HP LaserJet 4M Plus, you should create a setup module that contains:
TRN$XLATE_DICT begin
/settoptray { statusdict begin 3 setpapertray end } def
/setbottomtray { statusdict begin 0 setpapertray end } def
/setlcittray { statusdict begin 1 setpapertray end } def
end
PostScript tray numbers are documented in the DCPS User’s Guide.
4.9 AppleTalk Queues Do Not Start or Jobs Remain in Starting
State
The first print queue in the process to use AppleTalk fails with the following error
and the queue does not start:
%DCPS-W-ATK_FOR_VMS, Error connecting to AppleTalk for VMS driver
If other queues using the AppleTalk interconnect are started on that same
process this error is not reported. These queues will start, but jobs on these
queues remain in the ‘‘starting’’ state.
