Printing An EPS File To A PostScript Printer |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer retrieved an EPS file into WordPerfect. The customer could not print the file from the NEC Silentwriter LC-890 printer. The customer tried printing the file through DOS, but it would not print. The customer does not feel that the file is bad. Solutions: There are two kinds of EPS files. The first type of an EPS file contains only PostScript information. This means that WP cannot preview the file or print the file to a non-PostScript printer. If the file is sent to a non-PostScript printer, the result will be an empty box. This type of EPS file can only be printed on a PostScript printer. The second kind of EPS file contains both PostScript and bitmap (in a TIFF file format) information. This type of EPS file can be previewed and printed to a PostScript or non-PostScript printer. However, the output will look much better when printed to a PostScript printer since it uses the PostScript language information section. The file that the customer was using is like the second kind of EPS file, but it only contained the bitmap information. The file did not contain the PostScript graphic information. This is the reason the file could not be viewed or printed. Basically, the file is invalid or in an incorrect format. WP assumed that all files that fit the second category will contain both sections (PostScript and bitmap information) which when printed will look like the bitmapped portion of the file. The first type of EPS file is the only file that can be printed through DOS. |
