About Control-D characters in Windows print jobs

Refer to Chapter 8, ÒModifying Printer Operation,Ó for instructions on
deleting Control-D characters from Windows print jobs.
The utility Þles change the way the printer operates. To use the Þles, send
them to the printer from the communications port your printer is connected
to. First, locate the Þles you want to use on the Printer Utilities diskette.
Then use the DOS COPY command to send the desired Þle to the printer.
You can copy the Þles to your computer's hard disk, or use the Þles directly
from the diskette.

printer. If your printer is connected to a parallel (LPT) port, type the
following command (where X is 1, 2, or 3):
COPY RESET.PS LPTX:
If your printer is connected to a serial (COM) port, type the
following command (where X is 1, 2, or 3):
COPY RESET.PS COMX:
If your printer is connected to a Novell or TCP/IP network, you should
