Using RICOH-SCRIPT2 with Windows

Windows Network Environment

PostScript data sent to the printer is processed by an interpreter. The interpreter
translates programs written in ASCII code line-by-line into a form that can be
recognized by the printer.
When the printer is connected to the computer via a parallel interface cable,
PostScript data is processed in units called "jobs", and each job should have an
2
EOF (End Of File = Ctrl+D) to indicate the end of the data to the printer. The
printer continues to perform processing with the interpreter until receiving the
EOF.
When the printer is connected to a network, because the network protocol con-
trols the transferred data of jobs, the EOF is not required. Be sure to turn off the
EOF.
Windows 95/98
Open the [PostScript] tab of the Printer Properties. Click [Advanced] . Uncheck
both [Send CTRL+D after job] and [Send CTRL+D before job].
Windows NT4.0
Open the [Advanced] tab of the Default Document Properties. Under [Post-
Script Options], select [No] for both [Send CTRL-D After Each Job] and [Send CTRL-
D Before Each Job].
