12. Will the PCRIP-EZ1 Controller work on a network?
- Yes, but only
AppleTalk/PhoneTalk are supported.
13. What fonts are built into the Controller?
- None! Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 can use any True Type font. Macintosh can use all system fonts
and True Type fonts. If Adobe Type Manager is also installed in the Macintosh, you can also print
PostScript Type 1 printer fonts.
14. Can you use other downloaded soft fonts with the Controller?
- No! Soft fonts can not be downloaded to the Controller, but any True Type font installed on the PC or
Macintosh and displayed on the monitor can be printed.
15. Will the Controller allow the Priport to create an A3/11" X 17" image?
- Yes, as long as the Priport Model has the image size output capability and the Controller contains enough
memory.
16. Can you combine two A4/US Letter pages side by side into a single A3/11" X 17" image?
- If your software application supports A3/11" X 17" landscape printing, you should also be able to place
the two pages side by side. The specific method used to accomplish this page placement, however, will
vary by software application.
17. Can you reverse scan with the Controller and the Priport?
- No, but you could buy a scanner and hook it directly to your computer. While this process is simpler in
the Macintosh environment, it is still a very complex project in either the PC or Macintosh environment
and
should be undertaken only by an expert computer user. When scanned images are saved as graphic files,
they can be included in documents you create in various software applications.
18. What type of scanned images can be input into my documents?
- Only images that have been saved as graphics files(ie, those with extensions like .tiff, .gif, .bmp, .pcx.,
etc.)
19. Can you set the number of copies to print from the computer?
- Yes, all of the newer Priport models allow you to set the copy count from your computer: VT1800,
VT2200, VT2250, VT2400, VT2600, VT3600 and VT3800. For all other Priport models the number of
copies to be printed must be set from the Priport control panel.
20. How important is the "Auto Cycle" key in the printing of a job?
- It is important that the Priport print a minimum of one copy in addition to the proof copy for each new
master. Until at least one copy has been printed, the Priport will not allow a new master to be created.
Therefore, we recommend that when using the Controller that you also use the "Auto Cycle" mode to
enable the system to clear itself and be ready for the next print job.
21. What does the Diagnostic Page Button do?
- When the Diagnostic Button on the back panel of the Controller is pushed in, the Priport will output a
Diagnostic Status page that includes configuration information for the Controller. (See Appendix A.)
22. If I have a software or hardware question, whom do I call?
- Your local sales/service organization should be contacted.
