If the 60-second default timeout is in effect, when the current job
finishes the printer returns to automatic feed. It remains in
automatic feed for all subsequent jobs until another statusdict begin
/manualfeed true def command is sent to the printer.
Manual Feed Within Your Program
1. After you create the file to print using manual feed, save that
file using the print-to-disk, spool-to-disk, or save unformatted
for ASCII. How you save your file as an ASCII file varies
according to the software program. Check your program
documentation. (The PS Executive Series program has a
save-to-ASCII function you may use to save your file.)
2. After saving as an ASCII file, exit your application program.
Edit the ASCII file using an ASCII text editor. Examples of
these editors are DOS’s Edlin, WordStar’s Non-Document
Mode, or Sidekick’s Notepad, as well as others. Add the
following command to the beginning of the ASCII file:
statusdict begin /manualfeed true def
3. Send the file to the printer using the PS Executive Series
program or DOS. If on the DOS level, make sure you
understand the manualfeed timeout as it could limit the time
of the procedure.
4. Line up and insert a sheet of paper in the standard tray. The
side of the paper to be printed should face up.
5. If you are printing transparencies, sheets of self-adhesive
labels, or envelopes, use the face-up tray.
