Page 125 mêáåíáåÖ=îá~=mçëípÅêáéí The printing procedures covered in this chapter assume that: ‡ The PostScript support option is installed in your Horizon imager. ‡ The Horizon imager has been configured as a Windows or Macintosh desktop printer on your workstation using the Horizon PostScript print driver.
Page 126 fåíêçÇìÅíáçå=íç=mçëípÅêáéí PostScript printing technology was developed to provide consistent, predictable printing from every major computer platform to any printing device that supports it. PostScript is software that tells an output device, such as a printer, how to print fonts and graphic elements on a page. As such, it acts as a translation program between a workstation application and the printer.
Page 127 eáÉê~êÅÜó=çÑ=m~ê~ãÉíÉê=pÉííáåÖë=rëÉÇ=Äó= íÜÉ=eçêáòçå=fã~ÖÉê For PostScript print jobs, the Horizon Imager uses the following sequence to determine the values for sheet and image parameters to use when printing a sheet: 1. Uses the parameter settings in the PostScript print job information. 2. For any sheet or image parameters not specified in the PostScript print job information, uses the imager’s default settings for those parameters.
Page 128 mêáåíáåÖ=Ñêçã=táåÇçïë=^ééäáÅ~íáçåë Once the Horizon imager is set up as a Windows printer on your workstation (which is described in several Horizon PostScript Technical Briefs, one for each type of Windows system), you can send images to it for printing from any Windows application.

Page 149 mêáåíáåÖ=îá~=cqm=~åÇ=imo Support for receiving print jobs via FTP and LPR comes standard with the imager. FTP and LPR are advanced methods for sending print jobs, typically used by system integrators. This chapter provides basic instructions for sending print jobs via FTP and LPR. However, for a complete explanation about how to use these methods, refer to the Horizon Imager Technical Manual.
Page 150 While the user interface may vary between implementations of FTP, the information required to connect to the imager and send files is the same. To print a sheet, you simply start an FTP session with the imager, login to the FTP session using a logical device as the password to indicate what format to use, then send one or more images to be printed on the sheet.
Page 151 ‡ To print multiple images on a sheet using Fixed Multiformatting™ (FMF™), enter the number from 11 to 99 that corresponds to the sheet format you want to use. The first digit in the logical device specifies the number of columns in the image cell matrix, and the second digit specifies the number of rows.
Page 152 Multiple files are placed sequentially in the cells on the sheet, moving from left to right, top to bottom. When you send enough images to fill the selected sheet format, the sheet is automatically printed.
