Using A Postscript Error Handler - Tektronix Phaser 350 User Manual

Using a PostScript error handler

The error handling utility is useful for diagnosing problems when a job
doesn't print. This utility installs a PostScript error-handling function in the
printer to help determine the cause of some PostScript printing problems.
PostScript errors are printed on a page with other status information when
an error occurs. This utility can be useful to programmers for debugging
PostScript code.
To turn on the error handler, follow the instructions below. To turn off the
error handler, turn the printer off, wait 15 seconds, and turn the printer on
again. Alternately, refer to the on-line manual on the printer's CD-ROM for
instructions on resetting the printer to turn off the error handler. Use the
following utility files for your computer type:
