PostScript level 2

The Océ PostScript level 2 printer option can be used to print PostScript files
on the Océ 9400. Océ provides host software which enables you to print from
Windows or Macintosh applications.
This option enables your printer to become a true wide-format printer,
producing monochrome posters from Illustrator, Word, Excel, QuarkXpress,
Powerpoint, Pagemaker, etc., as well as CAD or electronic design applications,
among others.
Your PostScript document can be printed on any PostScript printer, in most
cases without any decrease in output quality. The Océ 9300 PostScript driver
translates the application's internal data into PostScript, and also simplifies the
selection of printer features.

PostScript data format selection

When the PostScript option is installed, your printer will automatically
recognize the PostScript language data sent to the printer (see 'Defining
language settings' on page 48)
It is very important that every print file terminates with an end-of-print
Note:
instruction. The PostScript end-of-print instruction is "Ctrl D".
Any files in the Media Saver will be printed before the PostScript file is
interpreted.
If your print is not recognized correctly, resend it with the appropriate data
format. Select the data format via the control panel or specify the correct
format in a remote control file.

Manual data format selection

The printer must be manually set to PostScript before using interactive mode
with the Serial or Ethertalk option (particularly for Macintosh). See 'Setting
manual data format' on page 50.
