Enabling The Postscript Error Handler - Tektronix Z740/DX - Phaser 740 Extended Color Laser Printer Instruction Manual

Enabling the PostScript error handler

The error handling utility helps diagnose problems when a job doesn't print; it
provides a PostScript error-handling function to help determine the cause of some
PostScript printing problems. When the error handler is enabled, PostScript errors
and other status information are printed. This utility is useful for debugging
PostScript code.
