Phaser 340 Drivers and Utilities
Adding Control-D characters to PC files
The ADDCTRLD.BAT and CTRLD.PS files are included for users who want
to write their own PostScript files. Install the utility files with the installer
application on either the Phaser 340 CD-ROM or the Printer Software for
Windows diskette; refer to page 3-35 for instructions. Then, locate the
installed files in the PHSR340 subdirectory inside the PHSRTOOL directory
on your hard disk.

Note
If your computer is connected to the printer through the parallel
port, or the optional serial port, you need to have Control-D
characters in your utility files or in the files you create. However,
if your computer is connected to a network such as NetWare or
TCP/IP, you should not add Control-D characters to a utility file.

The non-text Control-D character is required at the end of PostScript files
sent to the printer’s parallel port or optional serial port; it signals
“end-of-job.” A Control-D should precede and follow most PostScript data
files. ADDCTRLD.BAT and CTRLD.PS help you add two Control-D

CTRLD.PS
CTRLD.PS contains some PostScript comments plus the Control-D character.
Copy CTRLD.PS to the beginning and/or end of your PostScript files before
you send them to the printer. (PostScript utility files on the Phaser 340
CD-ROM and on the Printer Software for Windows diskette already have
Control-D characters at the beginning and end.) You can send CTRLD.PS to
the printer by itself to make sure the printer is in the “end-of-job” condition.
