exceeds the remaining free buffer space. When this occurs, chances are that the EOF

never made it to the buffer and the buffer will show that it is empty or that the job does

not exist. If this happens, part of the job might still remain in the buffer and that part

might become mixed up with other jobs. This is when having an “INSERT-END-OF-

FILE” option becomes important. In order to delete that partial file, the buffer must

either be cleared entirely or an EOF must be manually inserted into the buffer by simply

bringing the cursor down to the appropriate menu choice and pressing “SELECT”.

This provides an alternative to clearing out the entire buffer by inserting the EOF marker

at the end of the unwanted file fragment. Next, press the “NEXT JOB” button and this

fragment will then show up on the display as “NONAME” and will allow its solitary

deletion without having to delete the other jobs in the buffer.

Secondly, when using DOS based programs, a printer driver other than the ULS

Windows Printer Driver must be used. That particular driver does not know to send

down to the laser system the required EOF marker at the end of file downloading.

Again, the buffer will not recognize that the job exists because it does not see the end

of it. In this case, an EOF must be manually entered into the buffer after each and

every file download from a DOS based program. Since the job name is not sent to the

laser system by a DOS based printer driver, every job will be called “NONAME”. To

distinguish one “NONAME” job from the next, the display will number the jobs in the

order from which they were downloaded.

The “DOS POWER SETTINGS” submenu

Then

The laser system allows eight different power settings to be saved in memory and used

when processing a DOS based file. Since a DOS based printer driver is not available,

the 8 power settings must be set manually on the laser system. Think of it as being

able to assign laser “POWER”, “SPEED”, and “PPI” to the pens on a flatbed plotter.

This is not necessary when using Windows or the Macintosh since all settings can be

set in the driver.
