A working knowledge of the Adobe* PostScript printer definition language is
needed in order to create a custom PostScript banner. The easiest way to create
a PostScript banner is to create the banner using an application like
WordPerfect or MS Write. Be sure to leave the lower third of the custom
banner page blank because NDPS will overlay the following information in a
.ps banner page:
Job Name
Job Owner
Time Printed
Date Printed
1
After formatting the banner page, print the banner document to a file
using the appropriate PostScript printer definition.
The driver properties will have to be changed from printing to a port/
network to printing to a file on disk. All PostScript banners must have the
.PS extension.
2
Using a text editor, remove the PostScript operator called showpage from
the file that was printed to disk.
The driver will probably have a procedure that includes the showpage
command. (The showpage command will be in the overlay that NDPS
provides.) Sometimes showpage is embedded in another function within
the driver and you will have to use care in removing it.

A generic text banner must have a .TXT extension. The banner can be
formatted in any printer language. NDPS will not overlay any additional
information on this banner page.
