13. Will the Controller work on a network?
-
Yes, if the Controller is connected to a host computer. The computer
used as a host for the Controller can be the file server, a printer server
or any one of the network nodes. Other than the AppleTalk port for
Macintosh networks, there is no port on the Controller, at this time,
which allows for a connection directly to the network.
14. What fonts are built into the Controller?
-
The 35 standard PostScript fonts plus the 8 standard Intellifont PCL-5
fonts.
15. Can you use other downloaded soft fonts with the Controller?
-
Yes, you can use downloaded soft fonts in both PostScript and PCL-5
compatibility modes. You should be aware that the amount of RAM the
soft fonts occupy may impact the processing speed.
16. Can you reverse scan with the Controller and the Priport?
-
No, but you could buy a scanner and hook it directly to your computer.
While this process is simpler in the Macintosh environment, it is still a
very complex project in either the PC or Macintosh environment and
should be undertaken only by an expert computer user. When scanned
images are saved as graphic files, they can be included in documents
you create in various software applications.
17. Can you set the number of copies to print from the computer?
-
No, the number of copies to be printed must be set from the Priport
control panel. This was done intentionally so that you can check that
the correct paper and ink are in the Priport before printing.
18. How important is the "Auto Cycle" key in the printing of a job?
-
It is important that the Priport print a minimum of one copy in addition to
the proof copy for each new master. Until at least one copy has been
printed, the Priport will not allow a new master to be created. Therefore,
we recommend that when using the Controller that you also use the
"Auto Cycle" mode to enable the system to clear itself and be ready for
the next print job.
19. What does the Diagnostic Port do?
-
When the diagnostic plug used by the Customer Engineer is installed in
the Diagnostic Port and the Controller is turned on, the Priport will
output a Diagnostic Status page which includes Postscript font samples
and configuration information for the Controller. (See Appendix A.)
20. If I have a software or hardware question, who do I call?
-
Your local sales/service organization should be contacted first.
