Printer utilities
Printer Utilities are options for customers using "PlanetPress Design documents" on page41.
These commands were made for PostScript printers, so the printer on which they are used needs to be
able to interpret PostScript.
To get to these options, open the Tools ribbon and click Printer Utilities.
Set Printer’s Advanced Options
This allows to set some of the PostScript printer’s options from Workflow.
l
Printer Password: If the printer requires a password, enter it here.
l
Max form cache: Set the size, in bytes, of the PostScript printer form cache. This sets the cache
size for all documents that execute on the printer. You base the setting for this option on the num-
ber of images in your documents, their sizes, and how frequently each image repeats in a doc-
ument.
l
Manual Feed Time-Out: Enter the maximum amount of time, in seconds, you want the printer to
wait for paper from a manual feed before terminating the current job.
l
Wait Time-Out: Enter the maximum amount of time, in seconds, you want the printer to wait for
input before terminating the current job.
l
Do Sys/Start: Select to have the printer execute its Sys/Start file at boot time.
l
Print PostScript Errors: If the printer encounters a PostScript error during execution of a job, it
terminates the job. Select this option to have the printer print an error page that reports the offend-
ing PostScript command and the status of the print stack. This can be useful in debugging a doc-
ument.
l
Force postscript mode: Check to force the printer to expect, and print, in PostScript mode. This
is useful if the printer supports multiple printing languages.
Delete Files from Printer’s File System
The Delete Files from Printer’s File System option allows to send a command to the printer so that it
deletes a file contained on its hard drive, RAM or Flash drive. It is possible to delete multiple files by
pressing enter at the file path just entered. A confirmation page will be printed out after the command is
sent. The syntax is the following:
Path syntax: Deletes a file:
%<DISKNAME>%<DOC_OR_FILE_NAME>
On the hard disk. If the printer has more than one hard disk, you must spe-
cify the one on which the document or file you want to delete resides. For
example:
%sales%sale_flyer
deletes the document or file “sale_flyer” on the hard disk named “sales”.
