Adding Control-D characters to PC files
The ADDCTRLD.BAT and CTRLD.PS files are included for users who want to write their own PostScript files.

Copy the utility files from the Phaser 300X printer's CD-ROM.

Note:If your computer is connected to the printer through the parallel port, or the optional serial port, you need to have Control-D characters in your utility files or in the files you create. However, if your computer is connected to a network such as NetWare or TCP/IP, you should not add Control-D characters to a utility file.
The non-text Control-D character is required at the end of PostScript files sent to the printer's parallel port or optional serial port; it signals "end-of-job." A Control-D should precede and follow most PostScript data files. ADDCTRLD.BAT and CTRLD.PS help you add two Control-D characters to your files.

ADDCTRLD.BAT

ADDCTRLD.BAT is a batch file that adds a Control-D to the beginning and the end of a file. Use this file if you are creating your own PostScript files.

To use ADDCTRLD.BAT, copy ADDCTRLD.BAT and CTRLD.PS to the same directory on your hard disk. Type the following command:

ADDCTRLD filename

where filename is the name of the file that needs Control-D characters.

CTRLD.PS

CTRLD.PS contains some PostScript comments plus the Control-D character. Copy CTRLD.PS to the beginning and/or end of your PostScript files before you send them to the printer. (PostScript utility files on the Phaser 300X printer's CD-ROM and on the Printer Software for Windows diskette already have Control-D characters at the beginning and end.) You can send CTRLD.PS to the printer by itself to make sure the printer is in the "end-of-job" condition.
