Kevin,
It was nice to talk to you the other day. Thanks for your support.
I had a question about your file conversion. Is the *.ps file that you
produce a *.EPS file or another type of postscript file? Let me explain. I
did a "COPY FILENAME.PS LPT1/B" to the LEXMARKK and although it has 4meg of
memory I received a OUT OF MEMORY error. The FILENAME.PS was about 1.5meg.
The thought was that if it was a *.EPS file that maybe could print it out in
Corel Draw. Maybe Corel sends the file in little chunks. If you have any
ideas, let me know.
Thanks again,
Stephen
Stephen,
Well 4M seems adequate for the Tektronix printers, but their memory
management is superior. The Lexmark may not use memory as well. My guess
is that more memory may be needed, because: 1) the file is being sent as
RGB, which means it's being separated at the printer, 2) it needs to be
scaled to fit the page size, so memory is possibly needed it for that.
BTW, the file is a directly printable PS file, with a showpage command at
the end to shoot the page out.
As to what to do: Don't bother converting it. Just import the .TGA into a
Corel Draw document and print from there. If you have Corel 3.0, you can
load the image directly into Corel Paint. You should generate the file at
an aspect of 1.0, though, for these applications. You then get the
advantage of using the Windows print spooler to stack up multiple images.
