Adjust Printer Settings

There are five printer settings you can set from PlanetPress Design: Form cache, Manual feed timeout, Wait timeout, Print PostScript error, and Do Sys/Start.

To adjust printer settings:

  1. Choose Tools | Managers | Printer Utilities.

  2. In the Select information to request list, select Set printer’s advanced options.

  3. In the Select printers list, select the printer(s) for which you want to adjust the options.

  4. In the Advanced options area, adjust the options you want to set for the selected printer(s).

    Max form items: Set the size, in bytes, of the largest single EPS, PDF, or bitmapped image that the form cache can contain. This option applies to all documents that execute on the printer. You use the size of the largest and most frequently used image in your document to determine an appropriate value for this option.

    Max form cache: Set the size, in bytes, of the PostScript printer form cache. This sets the cache size for all documents that execute on the printer. You base the setting for this option on the number of images in your documents, their sizes, and how frequently each image repeats in a document.

    Manual feed timeout: Enter the maximum amount of time, in seconds, you want the printer to wait for paper from a manual feed before terminating the current job.

    Wait timeout: Enter the maximum amount of time, in seconds, you want the printer to wait for input before terminating the current job.

    Do Sys/Start: Select to have the printer execute its Sys/Start file at boot time.

    Print PostScript error: If the printer encounters a PostScript error during execution of a job, it terminates the job. Select this option to have the printer print an error page that reports the offending PostScript command and the status of the print stack. This can be useful in debugging a document.

  5. Click OK.
